a Median value for total administration length of PROMIS instruments and for total administration length of LEGACY measures across entire sample. Does not indicate a sum of individual instrument median values presented in table.
b Legacy battery consisted of a greater number of individual measures than PROMIS, contributing to a longer time to completion as compared to PROMIS
