Zusammenfassung	The WFNS Scale is a standardized grading system for assessing severity and prognosis in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) published by the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies in 1988. The five-point scale combines the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) with presence of motor deficit to classify SAH severity. The WFNS Scale is more objective than the earlier Hunt-Hess Scale and is increasingly preferred in contemporary neurosurgical practice, particularly in Europe and internationally.	The EDSS is the most widely used clinical disability rating scale in multiple sclerosis research and practice. Developed by John Kurtzke in 1983, it provides a 0-10 ordinal scale capturing disease severity across eight neurological functional systems and functional status. The EDSS remains the primary endpoint in MS clinical trials and longitudinal cohort studies, with decades of prognostic and comparative data worldwide.
