RE: Ordinal values without descriptions

Thanks for your replies everyone! As the scale does have descriptions for scores of 0,2, 4 and 6, I don’t think representing this as only a count would work. Perhaps Pablo’s suggestion is the best, even though it does mean changing the wording of the scale (arguably for the better). Regards,

Re: Ordinal values without descriptions

Ordinal values without descriptions

Hi everyone, We're working on an archetype for the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). This scale contains several ordinal values where there is no description, and some where there is no text at all. This doesn't work very well in archetypes, and particularly when uploading to
