Attached is the original validation paper for the VOS. Do you mean Table 4? The score was only moderately correlated to a change in PT etc. ('Validity of the VOS'); if you calculate the r2, these are relatively low (20-25%).
Thank you a lot for your answer. I already have this document, what I'm looking for is how to calculate a global score when patient have given answers? would you have an idea?
