“…In 85 cases, the authors used a subjective evaluation, with terminology such as "satisfactory bowel activity" (7 cases) [19], "acceptable defecation status" (10 cases) [15], "acceptable frequency (1 to 4) of bowel openings per day" (7 cases) [12], "less than 1 bowel opening per day" (1 case), and "more than 5 bowel openings per day" (1 case) [12]. Of these 85 patients, 35 were evaluated using a subjective score that included parameters such as frequency of defecation, staining, perianal erosion, anal shape, and medication used [28,47]. Twenty-four patients were evaluated by another subjective method (Kelly score), with the authors noting that their patients had a score of 3.8 [16,41].…”
