We developed this version to quantify the severity of light sensitivity and assess its effect on some activities of daily living.
Severity of anxiety sensitivity predicted number of cognitive behavioral sessions, but no baseline variables predicted number of follow-up booster phone calls or number of coping and exposure strategies.
Results show a good acceptation of scales by clinicians ; grouping of problem profiles that suppose specific needs for some populations of patients ; differentiation of access to care through the number and severity of problems ; sensitivity to problems outcomes for inpatient care.
Out of 800 subjects who answered a questionnaire of ten items with regard to their severity of chemical sensitivity 521 unrelated individuals agreed to participate in the study.
Participants were instructed to use a rating scale that best corresponded to the severity of their sensitivity by checking a score of 1 to 3 points (not at all a problem, moderate symptoms, disabling symptoms) was to be marked by the subjects.
Initial therapy for suspected or proven candidemia in the ICU may be chosen based upon severity of illness, sensitivities of probable infecting species, physician habit and other factors.
In general, studies comparing measures of duration with severity of stiffness show better measurement properties for severity in terms of sensitivity to change over time, responsiveness to therapy and reliability [ 10, 29, 31].
After stratification by type of sample (rectal swab/bulk stool) and severity of diarrhea, the sensitivity ranged between 85% and 98% and specificity between 77% and 97%.
Individual response to ADHD therapy is influenced by a number of factors, including severity of the disorder, sensitivity to a specific treatment, vulnerability to treatment-related adverse effects, and personal values and preferences regarding treatment outcome [ 46].
We argue that most evidence from studies to date could be conceptualized within the latter framework, with differences in forgetting patterns reflective of a continuum of severity and/or sensitivity.
