In a cross-sectional data analysis of 282 adults who underwent kidney transplantation at Toronto General Hospital, Musci et al used the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) computer-adaptive test to measure the level of pain interference. The mean age of patients was 52 years, 62% of patients were male, and 59% were white. Median number of months post-transplant was 37 months.

The researchers defined patients with a T-score greater than 60 as having moderate to severe pain interference, and patients with a T-score less than 45 were classified as having low pain interference.

The data showed that the mean social participation score was 52 and the mean pain interference score was 50. Researchers found a moderate negative correlation between social participation and pain interference (P < .001), which is a covariate (P < .001).
