  1. aP < 0.0001; bP < 0.01; cP < 0.05; dP < 0.001. First column: adjusted R-square (R2) × 100 indicates the total variance in 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) subscale accounted for by the common and unique variance in Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) function, overall, and symptom domains taken together. Multiple regression (R) indicates the size of correlation between three FIQR domains as predictors taken together with the SF-36 subscale as criterion. Columns 2, 3, and 4 present the standardized regression (β) coefficients, which represent the unique contribution of the predictor variable, and the partial correlation (pr) coefficients, which represent the correlation for the one (FIQR) domain with the SF-36 subscale after controlling for the other two (FIQR) domains.
