Assessment battery characteristics of the patients based on the estimated MMSE.
| Pain patients | MCI group | Correlation to MMSE score | non-MCI group | Correlation to MSE score | Difference (MCI vs. non-MCI) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n = 57 | n = 46 | p | ||||
| BPI (worst) | 6.0 (4.0–8.0) | n.s. | 6.0 (4.0–7.0) | *0.12 | 0.876 | |
| BPI (current) | 3.5 (2.0–6.0) | n.s. | 5.0 (3.0–6.0) | n.s. | 0.0974 | |
| PDAS | 16.5 (8.8–23.5) | n.s. | 20.5 (13.8–26.0) | *0.13 | 0.0402 | * |
| HADS-anxiety | 7 (4.0–10.3) | n.s. | 8.0 (6.0–11.8) | n.s. | 0.1617 | |
| HADS-depression | 7 (4.8–11.0) | n.s. | 8.0 (5.3–11.0) | n.s. | 0.3445 | |
| PCS | 31.5 (23.8–40.3) | n.s. | 33.5 (25.3–43.0) | n.s. | 0.2017 | |
| EQ5D | 0.66 (0.53–0.77) | n.s. | 0.65 (0.50–0.75) | n.s. | 0.428 | |
| PSEQ | 26.5 (20.8–36.0) | n.s. | 26 (14.3–37.0) | n.s. | 0.4147 | |
| AIS | 7 (3.8–11.3) | n.s. | 7 (5.0–10.8) | n.s. | 0.8744 | |
| Locomo | 22.5 (17.5–34.8) | n.s. | 26 (17.0–38.0) | *0.10 | 0.2089 |
Subjects were classified into two groups based on the MMSE cutoff value and subjected to comparative analysis (Mann–Whitney test), along with correlation analysis (simple linear regression). *p < 0.05. Important variables (p < 0.05) are highlighted in bold.
