Table 1. Scoring system for lung injury and macrophage abundance.

Epithelial Injury
0 Normal intact epithelium
1 Rare cells have separated from epithelium
2 10-25% of epithelial cells have separated from underlying basement
membrane
3 25-50% of epithelium has separated
4 51-75% of epithelium has separated
5 >75% of epithelial cells have separated
Hemorrhage
0 No red blood cells (RBC) outside of blood vessels
1 Few interstitial RBC
2 Few RBC in some alveoli
3 Moderate number of RBC in some alveoli
4 Many RBC in most alveoli
5 Large numbers of RBC in all alveoli
Macrophage abundance
0 None-Rare
1 1-10% of alveoli/saccules contain macrophages
2 10-25%
3 25-75%
4 >75%
