Each parameter was scored from 0 to 3 depending on the severity of inflammation, with 0 being no activity and 3 considered severe activity.
A lower score indicates a more severe activity limitation than a higher score.
BC1: Athletes have severe activity limitations affecting their legs, arms and trunk due to co-ordination impairments.
S: Freestyle, butterfly and backstroke SM: Individual medley SB: Breaststroke 1 -10: Physical impairment where a lower number indicates a more severe activity limitation.
C1 is allocated to athletes with the most severe activity limitation, while C5 is allocated to athletes who meet the minimum disability criteria.
Based on 1H-NMR profiling, patients with necroinflammatory activity classified as grade A2 and A3 (moderate to severe activity) could be partially distinguished from patients graded as A1 (minimal activity).
Comparing the xMLAA-based activity distribution with the activity distribution obtained when ignoring headphone attenuation (uncorrected), a severe activity underestimation for the regions embraced by the headphones is found.
In the uncorrected case, i.e., neglecting the attenuation of both the warm and the cold object, severe activity underestimation is present, especially for the region in between the warm and cold objects.
Neglecting attenuation of flexible hardware components, such as MR-safe headphones and RF surface coils, leads to severe activity underestimation, as demonstrated in the work presented here and as reported previously [22, 23, 25, 33, 34, 38].
CDAI was categorized as remission (0 2.8) or mild (>2.8 to 10), moderate (>10 to 22), and severe activity (>22) using published cut points [27].
