The BISS is a clinician-administered, structured interview that was originally developed with a focus on assessing bipolar symptoms in an outpatient sample.
In this outpatient sample of migraineurs, sexual dysfunction seemed very common, while not related to migraine related disability, frequency of attacks, severity or anxiety.
The aim of the present study was to (1) evaluate a geriatric outpatient sample with the FRAIL scale; (2) investigate the psychometric properties of the scale; and (3) characterize different associations of the subdimensions of the scale with demographic and clinical data.
PROMIS depression demonstrated strong convergent validity with the CESD and the PHQ-9 (with correlations in a range from.72 to.84 across all time points), as well as responsiveness to change when characterizing symptom severity in a clinical outpatient sample.
Marked heterogeneity in this estimate was not significantly explained by selected study design variables (use of outpatient sample, timeframe prior to study over which pain was assessed) or sample demographic variables (mean Expanded Disability Status Scale, mean disease duration, proportion of female sex, and proportion with progressive MS).
Finally, our outpatient sample was a convenience sample and may not be representative of the population in Sa Kaeo Province; few adults were enrolled in the outpatient setting with influenza-like illness.
REACH = outpatient sample.
The participants in the outpatient sample were also assessed clinically.
Nevertheless, our results confirm the acceptability of the OUT-PATSAT35 questionnaire in a large outpatient sample.
