BIRS Outcome Variables		Scores Standardized on a 5 Point Scale M± SD
Total score	81.7 ± 17.3 (33–129)
Dimension scores
Restriction of social activities (9 items)	16.9 ± 7.2 (6.0–38.7)	1.9 ± 0.8
Energy and strength (7 items)	22.2 ± 6.0 (7.0–28.7)	3.7 ± 0.7
Discomfort or embarrassment due to appearance (5 items)	17.9 ± 3.8 (6.0–25.0)	3.6 ± 0.8
Body integrity (3 items)	8.7 ± 2.7 (3.0–15.0)	2.9 ± 0.9
Sense of control (3 items)	6.5 ± 2.0 (3.0–12.0)	2.2 ± 0.7

Note: BIRS total score ranges from 23–160. BIRS dimension scores are presented as they were used in data analysis and also standardized on a 5 point scale to facilitate comparison of dimension score means in the table. Scores were standardized by dividing the each dimension score by the number of items in the dimension.
