An arbitrary categorization of the severity of the developmental deficits identified two brain regions with a very severe (> 30%) neuronal volume deficit, seven regions with a severe (22%29%%) deficit, three regions with a moderate (12%20%%) deficit, and two regions with a mild (5%) volume deficit.
It is based upon matching the resources of each hospital participating to the network and the categorization of trauma severity at the scene.
Retrospective categorization of disease severity is problematic for inflammatory myopathies because of inconsistencies in muscle-strength assessment and other nonstandard measures of disease activity.
Categorization of events (severity and preventability) was evaluated by a panel of two senior pediatric residents, who independently classified the events using preset criteria.
Defining the risk of death following infection with a pandemic strain enables categorization of the potential severity of the pandemic, with a CFR of <1 death per 1000 persons infected being the criteria for the lowest severity, Category 1 pandemic strain [1].
An American Academy of Sleep Medicine task force (2015) released quality measures for the care of adult patients with OSA; the first outcome is improved detection and categorization of OSA symptoms and severity to promote assessment and diagnosis of the disorder.
The overall prevalence of anemia was 12.6%: 8.9 % for males and 25.4 % for females, with further categorization by severity (borderline, moderate, severe) given in Table 2.
The development of quantitative criteria will lead to better understanding of the pathological stages of the disease, provide researchers an improved understanding of the aetiology of alcohol dependence, and facilitate categorization and severity determination in individual patients [5].
The factor loading supported the categorization of violent acts according to their severity and other factor analytic studies of violence demonstrate that severe forms of violence load together as do nonsevere violent acts [ 26].
The ideal methods of injury categorization and injury severity scoring involve trained personnel with access to injured persons or their medical records.
