The MSSS correlated very highly with the PGI-S (r = 0.93, p-value<0.0001) and highly with the MSAQ (r = 0.83, p-value<0.0001). Mean MSSS scores between increasing PGI-S severity levels increased significantly in all four increments (None-to-Mild: p-value = 0.006, Mild-to-Moderate: p-value<0.0001, Moderate-to-Severe: p-value = 0.006, Severe-to-Very-Severe: p-value = 0.002). There were statistically significant differences in MSSS score distributions stratified by PGI-S severity level, with higher MSSS scores associated with higher PGI-S severity levels and lower MSSS scores associated with lower PGI-S severity levels.
