In a sample of 500 patients receiving chemotherapy, % of those scoring between experienced grade 3-5 toxicity, putting this patient at risk for such events. Scores between 0 and 5 are considered low risk, scores between 6 and 9 are considered medium risk, and scores between 10 and 19 are considered high risk. The above graph describes the percentage of patients experiencing grade 3-5 toxicity in each risk category. The below table summarizes the number of patients within each score in the Hurria et al study.
| Total Risk Score | %Risk | N | |
| Low | 0 to 3 | 25% | 28 |
| 4 to 5 | 32% | 100 | |
| Mid | 6 to 7 | 50% | 136 |
