Columns 2-4: Importance ratings for each of the 10 items. 0 = not important to me at all, 10 = extremely important. Column 5: Pearson’s r correlation coefficient between each item and score on a recovery NRS ( 0 = not recovered at all, 10 = completely recovered). Column 6: The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC) for discriminating between changed and stable recovery status over a 3-month period. Bold indicates the single item that failed all 3 tests for retention and was removed from the final tool.
* = correlation significant at the p < 0.05 level.
** = correlation significant at the p < 0.01 level.
