DE hours (disability equivalent hours) = hours missed + 0.5(hours impaired at least 50%).

Severity of associated symptoms = severity scores for phonophobia, photophobia and nausea summed across headaches and normalized to 30 days.

§

Migraine severity = average headache severity (1 = mild to 3 = severe) × migraine days.
