Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Ranking of PCS scores according to the underlying disorders (10 predefined categories), and also ranking of RAPID-3 scores according to the underlying disorders (10 predefined categories).At least one month for each physician, and at least 30 patients in each category (whatever the physician seen).Composite score: RAPID3 (0-30) and PCS (0-52) are widely used scales, suitable for routine fulfillment by outpatients.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Ranking of correlations between RAPID3 and Pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) (13 items) scores in the 10 subsets of categories listed above (from the strongest correlation to the lowest correlation)At least one month for each physician, and at least 30 patients in each category (whatever the physician seen).RAPID3 (0-30) and PCS (0-52) are widely used scales, suitable for routine fulfillment by outpatients
