An Assessment of a Short Composite Questionnaire Designed for Use in an Interventional Spine Pain Management Setting
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability, validity, responsiveness, and practicality of a short composite questionnaire designed for use in an interventional spine pain management setting. SETTING: A rural interventional spine pain management practice. PATIENTS: Sixty subjects undergoing spinal intervention procedures (injection or neurotomy). METHODS: The Pain Disability Quality of Life Questionnaire-Spine (PDQQ-S) assesses spine pain quality, related disability, and life satisfaction/quality with the use of 2 questions for each domain. To assess the PDQQ-S, patients completed 4 questionnaires (McGill Pain Questionnaire [MPQ], Oswestry Disability Questionnaire [ODQ], Assessment of Quality of Life [AQoL], and PDQQ-S). Patients completed the questionnaires twice before their procedure and once after their procedure. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Test-retest reliability was assessed by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient for the 2 preprocedure questionnaire completions. Validity was assessed by calculating the Pearson correlation of the pain quality, disability, and life quality/satisfaction question scores of the PDQQ-S with the MPQ, ODQ, and AQoL, respectively. Questionnaire responsiveness was explored by calculating responsiveness ratio scores. Practicality was assessed by recording the time required to complete each questionnaire and the ease with which it was completed. RESULTS: Test-retest reliability correlation scores were as follows: PDQQ-S = 0.73; MPQ = 0.88; ODQ = 0.89; and AQoL = 0.83. Acceptable correlations existed between the pain, disability, and life quality/satisfaction domains of the PDQQ-S and the MPQ (.50), ODQ (.71), and AQoL (-.43), respectively. Responsiveness ratio scores for the PDQQ-S, MPQ, ODQ, and AQoL were 4.4, 1.9, 2.3, and 0.7, respectively. Compared with the other questionnaires, the PDQQ-S required approximately one fifth the time to complete and was significantly easier to understand. CONCLUSIONS: The PDQQ-S demonstrates adequate reliability and validity and superior responsiveness and practicality in persons with low back pain undergoing interventional spine pain management procedures.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
