Low- to moderate-grade? - pwrgirl

Posted: Aug 26, 2011

Hi,

I have a question that is driving me bonkers trying to figure out.

I transcribe radiology, and the following phrase is used frequently:

"..... mild to moderate grade...." by one particular doctor.

Does anyone have any ideas about the proper way this phrase should be transcribed?

For example, mild- to moderate-grade; mild to moderate grade; mild-to-moderate-grade?

Thank you for any help!

I am confused with the rule and cannot find an answer in the AAMT BOS 2. In the sentence, "The pain is mild to moderate" do you hyphenate this or not? It does not modify a noun immediately following it, but is there another rule or reason to hyphenate. I want to hyphenate it but am not sure. ...

Which way should moderate to severe by typed in this context? 1. moderate to severe trabeculation 2. moderate-to-severe trabeculation I was just dinged by QA (would prefer not to say which one yet), and really need to know. Also, I was always advised when typing a CBC, either all items should be expanded to thousands or none. It must be consistent. Is this also true? Thanks for the consult! ...
