The MSAS questionnaire evaluate twenty-four of the symptoms with respect to frequency, severity, and distress, and a further eight symptoms are evaluated in terms of severity and distress. Each symptom is recorded as being either present or absent and, if present, is rated using a four-point rating scale (1–4) for frequency and severity, and a five-point scale (0–4). If a symptom is present, the symptom score is an average of the total of all scores within these dimensions
