Incorrect Grading Scale. In the article “Bell Palsy: Rapid Evidence Review” (April 2023, p. 415), one of the grades in the House-Brackman scale for classifying symptom severity of Bell palsy was inadvertently omitted in the right column of page 416. The last two grades should have read as follows:
- Grade V, severe symptoms: only slight, barely noticeable facial movement, asymmetric facial appearance, forehead cannot move, incomplete eyelid closure, mouth has only slight movement.
- Grade VI, total paralysis: no facial movement.
The online version of this article has been corrected.
