Scoring: each row has a maximum of 5 points and the lowest of 0 points, 5 being given to the best outcome and 0 to the worst. The first column is scored 5 points, followed in successive columns by scores of 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 for the last column. The total points for all patients was calculated which came out to be 1205, and then divided by 70 (maximum points for individual patient)*20 (total no. Of patients in study). The average ADLS score calculated was 1205/1400 × 100 = 86%
