Pain severity, pain interference, and symptoms of depression as a function of fibromyalgia and smoking status
FM+ Current Smoker (n = 213) | FM+ Nonsmoker (n = 338) | FM– Current Smoker (n = 251) | FM– Nonsmoker (n = 764) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Pain severity (range = 0–10) | 7.44 ± 1.32 | 6.80 ± 1.62* | 6.65 ± 1.76* | 5.77 ± 1.92* |
Pain interference (range = 0–10) | 8.32 ± 1.38 | 7.66 ± 1.84* | 6.95 ± 2.01* | 6.04 ± 2.32* |
Depression (% scoring 11 or above) | 69.19% | 52.10%* | 35.10%* | 22.19%* |
Note: Values are the unadjusted means, SD unless otherwise indicated. FM+ = meets ACR survey criteria for fibromyalgia; FM– = does not meet ACR survey criteria for fibromyalgia. Pain severity and pain interference were measured using the BPI. Symptoms of depression were assessed using the HADS. A score of 11 or higher on the HADS indicates a high probability that depression is present. Ns may vary due to missing data on the criterion variables.
indicates that the means or percentages were statistically significantly different from the FM+ smoker reference group at Bonferroni-adjusted P < 0.05 or less.
