Table 1. Histology scoring table for sample quality.

Score Quality Features
0 poor portions of sample missing or disrupted by tears or clefts; overall architecture distorted at low magnification
1 fair all architectural features intact; may have several small artifacts (distortion, peripheral portions of tissue lost) that do not impede evaluation
2 good as 1, but artifacts attributable to collection are rare
3 excellent no artifacts attributable to collection observed
