Global Health and Pain Intensity 3a scores were collected using short forms. All other instruments were collected using computerized adaptive tests. Lower Global Health scores indicate worse global health. For all other measures, high scores indicate worse symptoms. All PROMIS scores range from about 20–80 and are standardized to a general population mean (SD) of 50 (10).
