For this purpose, 6 psychiatrists were given the 12 case vignettes corresponding to responses 2 to 7 in a randomised order, and asked to arrange them in pairs and to order the pairs from the mildest to the greatest level of severity.

Note that this is not simply a reflection of the within class coefficients since patients with greater levels of disease severity on one measure also tend to have greater levels of impairment on other measures.
Several studies have evaluated these relationships, and reported that the magnitude of the effects of pDPN pain on outcomes of function, sleep, quality of life, depression, and anxiety was higher at greater levels of pain severity.
