The aims of our study were to determine the cut-off points for mild, moderate, and severe pain in terms of pain-related interference with functioning in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, to measure the variability of the optimal cut-off points, and to determine the influence of patients' catastrophizing and their sex on these cut-off points. 2854 patients were included.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the reliability and discriminant validity of the Dutch version of the life satisfaction questionnaire (Lisat-9 DV) for patients with acquired brain injuries in a rehabilitation setting.
  • Reliability was found to be moderate, with weighted κ values ranging from 0.41 to 0.64, indicating acceptable consistency in test results.
  • The discriminant validity was considered good, as significant differences were found among patient subgroups, except in one specific comparison regarding social contact, suggesting that the questionnaire is useful for distinguishing levels of life satisfaction among different individuals.
