It is an adjustment of the Oswestry Disability Index [ODI] (an outcome measure that was designed to assess function in activities of daily living for those with acute or chronic back pain) such that the Sex Life question has been replaced with an Employment/Homemaking query.

How do you interpret Odi scores?

The Oswestry disability index (ODI), derived from the ODQ, is computed based on ten items each scored from 0 to 5. The cumulative score is then multiplied by 2, resulting in an ODI range of 0 to 100. A higher ODI score indicates a more pronounced disability attributable to LBP [3].

Therefore, the ODI ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score on the ODI indicates a more severe disability caused by LBP.

How do you interpret the Oswestry questionnaire?

ODI was graded into three groups: mild (5-15), moderate (15-30), and severe (30) OSA. Patients with an ODI10 was considered as clinically docHub sleepiness.
