Diane... The examples that OFA has given for their permanent grading system using the seven hip phenotype are:
2 radiologist reported excellent, 1 radiologist reported good: final phenotype grade would be excellent. 1 radiologist reported excellent, 1 radiologist reported good, 1 radiologist reported fair: final phenotype grade would be good. 1 radiologist reported fair, 2 radiogists reported mild dysplasia: final phenotype grade would be mild dysplasia. So it is a nice idea to inquire what the individual's reports were... Take care, Kathy Yonkers Stuarthome CKCS ---------- >From: Diane Zdrodowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [CKCS-L] Hip radiographs >Date: Mon, Apr 8, 2002, 12:15 PM > > Kathy C - > > Perhaps the reason that there was a different "score" within one months > time is that for a Prelim, the X-rays are read by only one Orthopod and > for the final "score" it is read by three different, not related (by > practice) Doctors.
