Table 4 Measurable outcomes for the lung scoring systems for the evaluation of dorsocaudal pleurisy using a modified version of the scoring method developed by Dottori et al. [25]; Slaughterhouse Pleurisy Evaluation System) and the presence or absence of cranial pleurisy (gold standard) and the four simplified scenarios
