I often type IQ scores in which the patient ends up having low-average intelligence or above-average intelligence and always hyphenate these because they ARE compound adjectives ("above" modifies "average"), used TOGETHER to modify "intelligence," whereas, presumably, "small" and "moderate," as stated, are one OR the other (or even somewhere in between)!
I know, it's exhausting.

low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media,
Subject: low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media,
Cardiac catheterization is a relatively safe procedure but has a well-defined risk of morbidity and mortality. The potential risk of major complications during cardiac catheterization may be difficult to ascertain because of the confounding aspects of comorbid disease and disparities in methods used to collect complication data.
The use of low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media, lower profile diagnostic catheters, reduced anticoagulation, and extensive operator experience all serve to reduce the incidence of complications further.
