analysis of the congruence categories dependence upon the PSRP category split by moderator subset (mild and moderate pain categories are not reported as there were no associations with these categories); the CCs responsible for a dependence, as found on post hoc analysis, are also reported.
In all analyses Degree of Freedom (DF) was 6 (except for pain in the past 24 h: DF = 4).
; ; ; not significant; and insufficient data for analysis.
NSAIDs: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; ATC: around the clock; PRN: on demand; Cong.: congruence; under: underestimation; and over: overestimation.
