Sensitivity & Specificity (Describe)

Discriminates between lower and higher phys. or mental HRQoL (SF36 PCS, MCS) and had more days of reduced productivity while working (8.7 vs. 2.2 days; p≤0.001)

Similar findings revealed related to home-related questions (except ‘number of days with outside help’)
