The clinical grading scale (CGS) score is designed to translate to a malignant hyperthermia (MH) rank that estimates the qualitative likelihood that an episode of MH occurred, based on observed signs and laboratory tests.33 CGS more than 34 indicates very likely MH. CGS greater than 49 indicates MH is almost certain. There were no significant differences between datasets for the listed characteristics.
