Objective. To analyze problems of evaluation of pathological conditions using rank scales, in particular, psychometric scales, and to format the results of processing of the initial rank information on the scale of relations based on analytic hierarchy process. Material and methods. A set of Russian and foreign publications on the use and processing of data presented in different scales from categorical to scales of relations were analyzed. Statistical, ranking methods, analytic hierarchy process were used. Results and conclusion. The authors present the simplest examples showing the inadmissibility of rank information interpretation as numerical information. The efficiency of algorithms for conversion of initial rank information into numerical (cardinal) information based on analytic hierarchy process is demonstrated. A cardinal approach to the processing of rank information opens up prospects for obtaining integrated assessments on different scales, which is of interest for clinical practice and research.
