The Events score represents a score for the numerator. The Events category will be scored based on the smallest cell size in the table.

The lowest value for the Events variable (<11 events) which has the highest score (+7) was chosen to be consistent with the Numerator Condition. The Publication Scoring Criteria is used when the Numerator-Denominator Condition is not met. Therefore, when the Numerator Condition is not met with respect to the Events variable, a high score is given.
