  1. SD, Standard deviation; ICC, Intraclass correlation coefficient; CI, Confidence interval. A random sample of patients and visits were selected to do a retest questionnaire in 2–7 days. The % of SEM and MDC as a proportion of scale allows for comparability of these across different sized subscales.
