Grade

Score

Computational methods

Morphology by light microscopy

grade 1

2

1 + 1 = 2

Only pattern A, LVI negative

3

1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 1 = 3

Mixture of pattern A and pattern B, LVI negative

grade 2

4

1 + 3 = 4, 3 + 1 = 4

Mixture of pattern A and pattern C, LVI negative

2 + 2 = 4

Only pattern B, LVI negative

1 + 2 + 1 = 4, 2 + 1 + 1 = 4

Mixture of pattern A and pattern B, LVI positivea

5

2 + 3 = 5,3 + 2 = 5

At least pattern B and pattern C emerge (with or without pattern A), LVI negative

2 + 2 + 1 = 5

Only pattern B, LVI positivea

1 + 3 + 1 = 5, 3 + 1 + 1 = 5

Mixture of pattern A and pattern C, LVI positivea

grade 3

6

3 + 3 = 6

Only pattern C, LVI negative

2 + 3 + 1 = 6, 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

At least pattern B and pattern C emerge (with or without pattern A), LVI positivea

7

3 + 3 + 1 = 7

Only pattern C, LVI positivea

  1. Silva A = 1, Silva B = 2, Silva C = 3, Only the highest score was retained if the worst pattern exceeded 80%. aIf LVI was identified in the case, 1 extra point should be added
