The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain\u002Fdiscomfort and anxiety\u002Fdepression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his\u002Fher health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. The EQ VAS (0-100) records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'.",{"measure":28,"description":29,"timeFrame":17},"Insomnia measured using the Insomnia Severity Index","Measured using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) (questionnaire).
