Topic Dog Boards / Health / Converting hip scores
- By John [gb] Date 08.02.05 18:27 UTC
I'm trying to find the conversion from our BVA hip scores to both OFFA and the European scores. I know its been on here at least twice, once only a couple of weeks or so ago but I can't find it! Can anyone tell me please?

Thanks in advance, John

Here is the OFA comparison.

OFA CLASSES            BVA/KC SCORES
                                            Total Both Hips

Excellent                               0-4  no > than 3 / hip
Good                                    5-10  no > than 6 / hip
Fair                                      11-18  no extremes
Borderline                             19-25
Mild Dysplasia                        26-35
Moderate Dysplasia                 36-50
Severe Dysplasia                    51-106

Here is a web addy with abridged details of our scheme

A-Stamp equivalent to 0-10 score under BVA/KC scheme (No sign of HD)
B-Stamp equivalent to 10-20 score under BVA/KC scheme (Transitional)
C-Stamp equivalent to 20-30 score under BVA/KC scheme (Mild HD)
D-Stamp is described as Moderate HD
E-Stamp is described as Severe HD

Thanks Brainless and Anwen. That was great! I was trying to convert a UK score into something a friend in Germany could relate to.

Thanks a lot, John

So interesting.  My import scored excellent in Spain, but to an untrained eye (mine that is :d)  I would of thought that his total was more than 4, but I'm happy if it isn't!

That wouldn't neccesarily be the same as the OFA excellent.
Here are the comparisons with European systems as well as OFA:
