Severity score ratings are calculated via an algorithm that is dependent upon answers to various questions. Interpretation of biopsychosocial domain scores is as follows: 0–1 = no problem; 2–3 = slight problem; 4–5 = moderate problem; 6–7 = severe problem; and 8–9 = extreme problem. For this analysis, scores were combined so that a score falling in the range of 4–9 was considered more severe compared with scores of 0–3.
