Per Second Edition of AAMS BOS it says this.
Express partial units at indicated.
Dictated grade 4 and a half over 6 murmur is transcribed grade 4.5 over 6 murmur or grade 4.5/6 murmur. Then it says Dictated grade 4 to 5 over 6 murmur is to be transcribed grade 4 to 5 over 6 murmur or grade 4/6 to 5/6. NOT TO BE TRANSCRIBED grade 4-5/6 murmur.
If you go by AAMT BOS then you would never type it as grade 4-5/6.
Hope that helps.

Can someone explain to me (or point me in the right direction of where to look) how do I know when to use IV versus 4. I'm doing searches but confused as both are coming up.
Example - grade II (or 2) patellofemoral chondrosis, grade 4 (or IV) osteochondral defect. My report is not looking uniform and unsure which to use anymore or where to look to make sure I'm correct.
Thank you for any help. ...
All of my searching brings up only FIGO staging, never grading. I even checked the FIGO web site. So, when a doctor dictates it as grade, should it be automatically changed to stage? TIA ...
I'm having a TIA, I think. This sentence is "....68-year-old woman with a high-grade leiomyosarcoma..." Should there be a hyphen in "high grade" or not? I've totally thought about this too much and I can't remember when you do and don't use the hyphen. Please help!!
Thanks! ...
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! ...
Hi,
Please help with a word which sounds like..... myeding/moding/molding....

"s/ nephrotic grade proteinura - no biopsy, concerned about risk. Treating for diabetic and hypertension-related renal diseases versus autoimmune." I can't find anything in my dictionaries or online that has at least both nephrotic and proteinuria. The 'grade' part of it could be just about anything...it doesn't necessarily have to be 'grade'. ...

Grade gets arabic. Stage, type, and class get Roman numerals. (Exception is type 2 diabetes.) None of them have initial caps (grade 2, stage II, type II, class II). ...
I was always taught that grade is always arabic and stage Roman but someone recently told me that is not the case for orthopedic terms, grade III spondylolysis and grade III medial meniscus tear. Does anyone know if this is correct? ...
I've seen an 86, 88, 92, and 98. I also made an 88. I had time to verify the ones I wasn't sure of, so I'm a little blown away that I didn't do better than that, but it is what it is. ...
have varicosities, but there is no progression....I did talk to her about swimming and cycling as other activities to maintain quad strength and keep her weight down for both her joint disease as well as risk of VSD.
I can not figure out what VSD stands for. He says it very clearly. All my searches turn up ventricular septal defect, but his use of the word "distally" makes me think he is not talking about that. Plus, this is an orthopedist. ...
