Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rs) was calculated between PII (n = 27) and PROMIS-25 (n = 28). Significant at p < 0.05 (⁕ < 0.05, ⁕⁕ < 0.005) and r > 0.37. 1 PII consists of a self-rating from 0 to 6, where 0 means “not at all” and 6 “very high” pain interference during six activities: schoolwork, leisure activities, time with friends, mood, physical activities, and sleep. 2 PROMIS-25 is a self-rating instrument with the domains mobility, anxiety, depressive symptoms, fatigue, peer relationships and pain interference. The rating is on a scale from 0 to 4 where 0 means never and 4 always. † Two missing answers for depressive symptoms and one for peer relationships
