Satisfaction with the POP treatment was measured using a VRS-5 from 1=excellent to 5=bad, which, to facilitate the rating, resembles the scale of grades in German schools.
Table 1 shows the mean and standard deviation expressed in a numerical scale of grades given by supervisors, second markers, and control markers.
Results: Patients showed severe impairment in terms of the Ashworth scale for grading spasticity and deformity, and moderate impairment on manual muscle testing.
There are multiple scales for grading the severity of acne vulgaris, three of these being: Leeds acne grading technique: Counts and categorizes lesions into inflammatory and non-inflammatory (ranges from 0 10.0).
In brief, the degree of sclerosis in each glomerulus was subjectively graded on a scale of 0 4: Grade 0, normal; Grade 1, sclerotic area up to 25% (minimal); Grade 2, sclerotic area 25 50% (moderate); Grade 3, sclerotic area 50 75% (moderate to severe) and Grade 4, sclerotic area 75 100% (severe).
Gastritis activity was graded on a four-point scale of none (grade 0), mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2), and severe (grade 3) according to the guidelines of the Sydney system [ 13].
The extent of PDGFR α staining was graded on a scale of 1 5 (grade 1 represents muscles with occasional PDGFR α+ cells in the interstitium and grade 5 represents muscles with numerous PDGFR α+ cells in the extended interstitial space, see Supplementary Figure S5), and the degree of fibrosis was quantified by measuring hydroxyproline (HOP) content.
The percentage of stained tumor cells was graded on a scale of 2 grades: 0, <10% and 1, >10%.
Regarding HE, patients scored a median of grade III on the HESA scale of four grades and 14 on the Glasgow Coma Scale, indicating presence of HE in the patient cohort.
