Patients' interpretation of the PPI item was variable, and they also had difficulty with the VRS [[ 21]].
This review focuses on the Pain Rating Index (PRI) and the present pain intensity (PPI) item of the McGill Pain Questionnaire.
Results of this study strongly supported content validity for the "worst pain item," whereas the results did not support content validity for the "average pain" item or the MPQ PPI item.
In this study cognitive debriefing of three single-item measures of pain severity commonly included as endpoints in oncology clinical trials, the MPQ-SF PPI item and 'Average Pain' and 'Worst Pain' items of the BPI-SF, was conducted to determine content validity in patients with CRPC.
Whilst the majority of patients were able to accurately interpret the concept of 'current pain' (assessed by the MPQ-SF PPI item), due to the fluctuating nature of pain experienced by CRPC patients with bone metastases, assessments of 'current pain' may not be the most accurate or informative way of assessing pain severity in this population.

Royal Mail, which handles almost 7m such items a day, was given a target of delivering 92.5% of the mail by next day, but, according to Postcomm, only 86.3% of PPI items and 86.8% of first class response services mail was delivered on time in the three months to the end of March.
The EMA-approved pain claims were supported by the BPI-SF worst pain item (n = 2), the BPI-SF average pain item (n = 1), and the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) component of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) (n = 1).
Taken together, eight genes (ATXN2, CLCN6, CYP17A1, FURIN, HECTD4, ID1, NPPA, and PTPN11) obtained evidence from at least four of the following five items: GRAIL analysis; PPI analysis (STRING and Dapple); functional annotation clustering analysis (DAVID); evidence from databases (OMIM, MGI, HuGE); and CAD association analysis.
Based on this evaluation, we have calculated a confidence score to each item that does not show PPI database evidence in any of those three human PPI databases.
Rual et al. [ 4] extracted a core interaction set of PPIs mentioned in more than one item of literature (e.g. journal article).
Fold = times, e.g. total injectable PPIs in 2004 were 5.6 times more expensive per item than the equivalent oral preparations (DDD based).
