Body Surface Area (BSA), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Fibromyalgia Diagnostic Criteria (FDC) and Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) have all been used as screening tools to assess pain status in individuals with widespread pain. However, substantial overlap can be observed among these commonly employed questionnaires. This study aimed to quantitatively determine the most independent and dependent clinical characteristics obtained through these questionnaires and to examine potential redundancies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seventy-nine participants with widespread pain, 61 females and 18 males, from a chronic pain outpatient clinic were recruited. The FDC, BSA, VAS and the CSI were measured for all participants. A principal component analysis (PCA) using a varimax rotation was used to determine which clinical measures represented separate constructs of widespread pain. This was followed by a regression analysis to assess redundancy between the constructs and related pain characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The identified three-component PCA solution was characterized by (1) the FDC and CSI score, (2) the VAS score and (3) the BSA score. This indicates that the BSA and the VAS scores capture independent patient information. From the regression analysis, the FDC and CSI scores shared approximately 80% of the variance, indicative of substantial overlap between scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings demonstrated that BSA and VAS scores were independent clinical measures of widespread chronic pain, while the FDC and CSI scores were not independent, were highly correlated and provided redundant information. Clinicians should continue using both the BSA and VAS; however, either only FDC or CSI will be beneficial during clinical assessment of widespread chronic pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2049463720979340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,19]],"date-time":"2020-12-19T01:03:17Z","timestamp":1608339797000},"page":"441-449","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Differences and similarities among questionnaires to assess pain status in chronic widespread pain population: a quantitative analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Valerie","family":"Evans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering (IBBME), University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Felipe CK","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Research and Innovation, Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lukas D","family":"Linde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICORD, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"School of Kinesiology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3889-7557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dinesh","family":"Kumbhare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, University Health Network, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10067-006-0240-3"},{"key":"bibr2-2049463720979340","first-page":"621619","volume":"2012","author":"Wyrwich KW","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pain Res Treat"},{"key":"bibr3-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000001390"},{"key":"bibr4-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000001384"},{"key":"bibr5-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrrheum.2010.107"},{"key":"bibr6-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000001686"},{"key":"bibr7-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000000417"},{"key":"bibr8-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000000507"},{"key":"bibr9-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpain.2009.06.012"},{"key":"bibr10-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1533-2500.2011.00493.x"},{"key":"bibr11-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpain.2004.05.007"},{"key":"bibr12-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.12263"},{"key":"bibr13-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acr.20140"},{"key":"bibr14-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-018-4914-6"},{"key":"bibr15-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tra.2011.11.008"},{"key":"bibr16-2049463720979340","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lavrakas P.
