Note: PROMIS Scale Scores are on a T-score metric with mean 50 and standard deviation of 10 from the calibration population (ages 8–17). Higher scores for depressive symptoms, pain, and fatigue represent worsening symptom burden and higher scores for mobility represent better functioning. b = threshold parameter of the 1-parameter logistic (1PL) IRT model.
