Table 3. Unstandardised regression coefficients for pathways in mediation analyses where regression coefficients a, b, c, c' reflect the pathways described in Figure 1.

1 | PTSD | 1.86* | 0.002* | 0.006* | 0.003 | 0.003 | 0.001 | 0.007 |

The independent variable is baseline pain intensity and the dependent variable is MFI at 6 months follow up for each model.
*Denotes coefficients which are statistically significant at the p>0.05 level. Mediation effect represents the point estimate of the indirect effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable acting through the mediator calculated through bias-corrected accelerated bootstrapping. Mediation effect is significant where the 95% CI do not span 0.
