Ranges

warning

"The aortic dissection detection risk score (ADD-RS) is a clinical decision tool that aids in grading the pretest probability of an acute aortic dissection. Scores range from 0-3, where 0 is classed as low risk, 1 is moderate risk and 2-3 is high risk ¹."

Line 1:221 · Don't add words such as 'from' or 'between' to describe a range of numbers.

warning

"A low-risk ADD score by itself, or when combined with a non-widened mediastinum (normal limits vary per projection, FFD and x-ray cassette positioning ⁶) on chest x-ray, makes the diagnosis of dissection unlikely. However, it cannot confidently rule it out and negate the need for further imaging ^2,3. The aortic dissection detection risk score plus d-dimer for aortic syndrome has offered a more reliable method to rule out acute aortic syndrome ^4,5."

Line 32:15 · 'ADD' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
