error

"full post-mortem examination reveals lobar, cortical, or cortical-subcortical haemorrhage and pathological evidence of severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy and absence of other diagnostic lesion"

Line 6:17 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-mortem'.

"does not have to be post-mortem"

Line 12:28 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-mortem'.

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The modified Boston criteria, or the Boston criteria 1.5, were proposed in 2010 in order to incorporate cortical superficial siderosis into the diagnoses of probable and possible cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) 1. They consist of combined clinical, imaging and pathological parameters, and are based upon the original Boston criteria which were proposed in 1995 2. These criteria have since been superseded by the Boston criteria 2.0 4."
