Score | Description |
|---|---|
0 | No pathological changes |
1 | Minimal multifocal small (no measurable aggregates) subsynovial accumulations of inflammatory cells |
2 | Diffuse small (no measurable aggregates) subsynovial accumulations of inflammatory cells |
3 | Diffuse small subsynovial accumulations of inflammatory cells + 1–3 aggregates measuring at least 100 µM in diameter |
