What's the scale for pitting edema?

{{c1::The depth of the indentation corresponds to the degree of edema, and the skin overlying the affected area may appear shiny or stretched. Pitting edema is graded on a scale of 1+ to 4+, with 1+ indicating mild pitting that disappears rapidly and 4+ indicating severe pitting that persists for a prolonged period of time.}}
