Figure 3. Clinician-based feline orofacial cancer pain scoring (UFEPS/VET).

(A) Cats with oral SCC had a significantly higher total score compared to healthy cats. (B) Specifically, cats with oral tumors had significantly higher scores in the UFEPS/VET categories of miscellaneous behavior, mouth palpation, comfort, activity, attitude and appetite. (C) The UFEPS/VET scores were significantly correlated to preFORQ/CLIENT scores (P = 0.0002, r² = 0.76). ^∗P < 0.05, ^∗∗P < 0.01, ^∗∗∗P < 0.001, ^∗∗∗∗P < 0.0001, Mann–Whitney test. Each dot represents the score of individual cats. Values from healthy cats are denoted by open dots; triangular shaped dots denote aged healthy control; closed/solid dots represent cats with sublingual SCC. All error bars depict SEM.
