Table 2. Chi-squared tabulation of unique items in the MAPPWRQoL instrument and WRQoL Scale (Χ-squared = 32.785, df = 1, p = 1.029e-08).

	WRQoL Scale
MAPPWRQoL	Occur	Non-occur	Total
Occur	6	33	39
Non-occur	18	4	22
Total	24	37	61

The table describes the number of unique questions in each tool; WRQoL Scale (24 unique questions) and MAPPWRQoL instrument (39 unique questions). Crude numbers have been presented. For the non-occur + non-occur cell, the assumption was stated as at 10% of MAPPWRQoL instrument total questions.

	A	B	Total
C	34	3	37
D	2	4	6
	36	7	43

Crude numbers have been presented. An uncertainty of 10% of questions not captured in the new instrument was assumed (N = 39 + 4 = 43). Questions that had a frequency occurrence for zero at f(x) ≥5 times were considered as an inability to respond to the question; AD cell. Questions that can be completed by both MAPPs and non-MAPPs, and had detectable statistically significant difference from Fisher’s exact test with p-values ≤ .10 were included in BC cell.
