QDIS-7 consistently had higher R probably the most crucial element inside the healing connection: trust. Trust correlations with other disease-specific measures than with generic physical (r = -0.43 to -0.69, median = -0.52) and mental (r = -0.38 to -0.51, median = -0.44) summary measures.Responsivenessdisease-specific measure, was replicated across pre-ID groups analyzed separately with one exception (equivalent QDIS and generic SF-8 PCS RV estimates for OA).NormsIn longitudinal analyses, 59.4 reported the same preID disease status at 9-month follow-up and those who changed were more likely better (24.6 ) than worse (16.0 ).
