As any food lover knows, the Michelin rating system runs from one to three stars, which represent, respectively, "a very good restaurant in its category," "excellent cooking, worth a detour," and, finally, "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey".
Furthermore, the CPQ scores did not increase with decreasing self-reported oral health from the answer category "Excellent" to the answer category "Very good".
Similarly, for the category "excellent perceived health" the ratio is 1.62 as compared with 1.07 for the category "poor perceived health".
Health related variable (time-dependent variable) consists of a self-perceived general health status, which had five categories: poor, fair, good, vary good and excellent (reference category: excellent).
Although some authors use broader intervals (Insall et al. 1979, Ranawat et al. 1993), more commonly narrow intervals are used to assign patients to a category (excellent, good, fair, or poor) based on the KSS numeric score (Wright et al. 1990, Konig et al. 1997).
The model included 13 states: healthy, preclinical non-progressive in situ, preclinical progressive in situ, preclinical invasive, diagnosed in situ, and diagnosed invasive breast cancer by NPI category (excellent, good, moderate 1, moderate 2, poor, and very poor), death from BC, and death from other causes.
SAR values can be divided into four categories: excellent (<10), good (10 18), permissable (18 26), and unsuitable (>26).
The influence is highest when deciding between health categories excellent and very good on the one hand, versus good to poor on the other hand.
A scale to evaluate the patient satisfaction was used at 9- to 10-year follow-up with the following categories: excellent, good, fair, and poor.
In fact, Prolo and colleagues proposed four outcome categories, excellent (10 9), good (8 7), fair (6 5) and poor (4 2), while Pappas organized results in only three categories: good (8 10 points), moderate (6 7 points) and poor (5 points or less).
In the final evaluation, the patient's results were categorized into four categories: excellent results in 7 patients, good results in 6 patients, fair results in 7 patients, and poor results in none of the patients.
