WVF, Weekly Vomiting Frequency.
For each individual symptom frequency score, 0 = absent and 4 = extremely frequent (≥7 per week), total symptom frequency score is the sum of all the individual symptom scores.
For each individual symptom severity score, 0 = absent and 4 = extremely severe (requiring bed rest), total symptom severity score is the sum of all the individual symptom scores.
