Krebs EE et al. Development and initial validation of the PEG, a three-item scale assessing pain intensity and interference. J Gen Intern Med. DOI: 10.1007/s11606-009-0981-1. PMID: 19418100. The PEG score is the average of pain intensity, interference with enjoyment of life, and interference with general activity. Each item is 0–10. The average has a potential range of 0–10. Higher scores represent worse pain. No diagnostic cutoff is defined. (2009)
