Correlation and consistency of pain severity ratings by teens using different pain scales.
نویسندگان
چکیده
100 teens ranked pain experienced for their most recent "shot"on three different scales: casual 0-10 scale (mean 3.3), faces scale (mean 2.8), and 10 cm visual analog scale (mean 2.4). All pain scores showed wide variation (poor validity). Pain severity values were not equivalent across the different pain scales with the casual 10 scale most likely to overestimate pain values.
