Hi Claudia,
Here is one article that references a severity index based on %volume 
difference.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5891654/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fpmc%2Farticles%2FPMC5891654%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ccheryl.pranskevich%40providence.org%7C975074dc0e97489752ec08da61163119%7C2e3190869a2646a3865f615bed576786%7C0%7C0%7C637929045789336870%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=LLk6plo0xp2gftl0zU%2F7zdblvsVQbAQWw0Y66YuDvcE%3D&reserved=0>

Here is a slide I had used, which I think was based on this article.

I hope this helps get you started. I’ll look for further references.

Best,

Hello all,



Are there any grading guidelines for truncated limb volume measurements other 
than left/right comparison? I.E. mild/moderate/severe based on volume 
difference?



Thank you ☺
