“…Typical SMAF scores of community-dwelling elders are 10 (standard deviation [SD] 9), while those admitted to a nursing home score 29 (interquartile range [IQR] 21-37). 7 The minimal clinically important difference in SMAF is five points. 8 The BPI assesses pain using an 11-point NRS; it also includes a functional interference index comprised of seven questions in which the subject is asked to describe the extent to which pain interferes with activity.…”
