| score in the 6-point grading system | The 6-point grading system will assess clinical response based on each of the following six paramaters. One point will be assigned for each of the following parameters present in a patient, with the maximum possible score on this grading system being 6. A patient need not satisfy all six parameters. A decrease in score on this grading system compared to baseline will indicate clinical improvement, while an increase in score will indicate clinical worsening.
