Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, and extreme problems. This decision results into a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. Each patient's health state is referred to in terms of a 5-digit code;~Levels of perceived problems are coded as follows:~* Level 1 is coded as a '1' (indicating no problem)~* Level 2 is coded as a '2' (indicating some problems)~* Level 3 is coded as a '3' (indicating extreme problems) For example, state 11223 indicates no problems with mobility and self-care, no problems with performing usual activities, moderate pain or discomfort and extreme anxiety or depression, while state 11111 indicates no problems."
