  1. WPI widespread pain index, SSS symptom severity scale, FSS fibromyalgia severity scale
  2. All reproducibility results are Cohen’s kappa values, except for WPI, SSS and FSS (Spearman’s R) ± standard errors. All bias results are p values of Wilcoxon tests. Results of WPI, SSS, FSS, “fatigue”, “waking unrefreshed” and “cognitive symptoms” are shown as median [interquartile range]. * indicates p values that were considered statistically significant (< 0.001, according Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons)
