Each symptom is self-rated by the patient, and each clinical sign is rated by the clinician as 0 (absent), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), or 3 (severe), except ulcer, which is marked as present or absent. All numeric points are summed to yield a total score: a score of 0 to 4 indicates the absence of PTS, and a score of >4 indicates PTS (5-9, mild PTS; 10-14, moderate PTS; and >14 or the presence of an ulcer, severe PTS).
