Furthermore, we explored the associations between the cold damage severity level of mangroves and climate and landscape factors, including elevation, surface slope, aspect, wind direction and velocity, wind shadow effect, and tree height.
The short Cold Sensitivity Severity (CSS) scale to assess cold sensitivity was used.
When analysing predictors for cold sensitivity severity (CISS score) the Spearman rank correlation (r S ) coefficient were used for quantitative predictive variables, the Mann–Whitney U-Test for dichotomous variables and the Kruskal-Wallis Test for multiple categorical data.

CISS: Cold intolerance symptom severity; EuroQ-5D: EuroQol-5 Dimension; MHISS: Modified hand injury severity score; QuickDASH: Quick disability of the arm, shoulder and hand; SOC: Sence of coherence.
"There was no difference in both the length of cold symptoms and severity of cold symptoms in children who received either echinacea or placebo for their colds," said James Taylor of the University of Washington, who led the study of 407 children.
In distinguishing these symptoms from those of a common cold, duration and severity must be taken into account, according to Dr. Michael Benninger, an otolaryngologist in Detroit who took part in the recent development of treatment guidelines for sinusitis.
One of the first studies on the matter was led by Sir Christopher Andrewes, of the Common Cold Research Unit, in Salisbury, England, a half century ago....Experiments have since demonstrated that being chilled has no effect on either the likelihood of catching a cold or the severity of a cold once you've caught it.
Responses to the Cold Intolerance Symptom Severity (CISS) questionnaire and the Sense of Coherence (SOC) questionnaire were investigated in hand injured patients (n = 64) and in patients with HAVS (n = 26).
If the purpose is to define abnormal sensitivity and find out details about recovery and strategies relieving symptoms, then a more detailed questionnaire, such as the Cold Intolerance Symptom Severity score (CISS), may be recommended [ 48].
The patients with traumatic hand injury were treated during January-November 2003 and the patients with HAVS during 2002 2003 and responded to the Cold Intolerance Symptom Severity (CISS) questionnaire in 2004.
