本研究调查了一种方法的并行有效性，该方法用于评估因报告慢性腰痛而接受工人补偿福利的患者样本中症状放大综合征的存在。一项验证研究，涉及最大自愿努力（MVE）测试的165名受试者谁也收到了功能能力评价。利用了MVE数据的各种应用。这项研究表明，大多数方法都没有显着的预测症状放大综合征，即使是最好的这些方法往往导致错误的分类。(C)1998爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
This study investigated the concurrent validity of a method developed to evaluate the presence of symptom magnification syndrome in a sample of patients receiving workers' compensation benefits due to reported chronic low back pain. A validation study involving maximum voluntary effort (MVE) testing of 165 subjects who also received a functional capacity evaluation is described. Various applications of the MVE data were utilized. This study demonstrates that most methods were not significant predictors of the symptom magnification syndrome and that even the best of these methods frequently led to misclassification.
