Data are presented as mean (SD) points unless otherwise specified.
Range of 0 to 10 points, with higher scores sensitive and specific in identifying physicians experiencing higher levels of burnout.
Cutoff scores greater than 7.5 points indicate sensitivity and specificity for a higher self-reported quality of life.
Higher scores on a 7-point scale indicate greater work engagement.
Higher scores on a 5-point Likert scale indicate a more negative effect of work on personal relationships over the past year.
Overall scores range from 0 to 16 points, with scores of 8 points or less strongly associated with burnout and sleep-related impairment.
Range of 0 (as bad as it can be) to 100 (as good as it can be) on a visual analog scale.
