The phrase "a degree of spread" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing variability, distribution, or dispersion in data or other contexts.
Example: "The data showed a degree of spread that indicated significant variability among the results."
Alternatives: "a level of dispersion" or "a range of variation."
BC notified to the CCR with a 2001 2009 diagnosis and a recorded degree of spread was investigated in the present study.
Third, contextual analysis of mean and SD values of different density classes, particularly after logarithmic transformation to accentuate near zero values on a graph, provided a geographic approach to estimating the beginning and subsidence of a large degree of spread of SARS in the community.
However, while incidence by localised cancer in Aboriginal people is somewhat lower (non-significantly), and is non-significantly higher for cancer of unknown degree of spread, Aboriginal mortality from localised and unknown degree-of-spread cancers is significantly higher.
Degree-of-spread is assigned by the NSW CCR into one of four summary stages (localised, regional, distant or unknown) [ 25].
Further, the only measure of disease severity available was degree-of-spread at diagnosis; there were no indicators of performance status available.

The registry is managed according to the International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) rules [ 32] and is one of the few Australian Cancer Registries to record degree-of-spread at first diagnosis for all solid malignant tumours [ 33].
This is because in small data sets exhibiting a high degree of spread, it is much harder to identify the distribution as being either symmetric or nonsymmetric, resulting in the test detecting a difference in symmetries less often.
Similarly, collagen scaffolds with pore sizes of approximately 82 μm exhibited a high degree of spread hepatocytes with high albumin secretion owing to 3D intercellular contacts (Ranucci and Moghe 1999).
