Figure 4. Change in illness perceptions over time and relationship to other patient- and physician- reported disease assessments.

Figure 4.

(A) Composite BIPQ scores were categorized as worse (increased by 7 points or greater), improved (decreased by 7 point or greater) or unchanged. Using this threshold, change in BIPQ was significantly associated with concomitant change in patient global assessment scores over time. (B) In contrast, change in composite BIPQ scores by 7 or greater was not associated with concomitant change in physician global assessment scores over time. (C) Change in measures of fatigue (MFI) and illness perception (BIPQ) were significantly correlated over time.
