AB  - OBJECTIVE: The numeric rating scale (NRS), which does not capture the 
      multidimensional experience of pain, is commonly used to measure pain in the 
      emergency department (ED). In this study, we assess the utility and feasibility 
      of the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) in the ED. METHODS: This was a 
      cross-sectional, prospective, convenience sample study of adult patients 
      presenting to the ED with chest, abdominal, or musculoskeletal pain. Using 
      confirmatory factor analysis, we investigated the construct validity of the 
      BPI-SF. We determined the association between NRS and BPI-SF scores. We assessed 
      the feasibility and utility of administering the BPI-SF in the ED setting by 
      evaluating 1) the time required to complete the BPI-SF and 2) how patients 
      perceive the BPI-SF compared with the NRS. RESULTS: One hundred participants were 
      included for analysis. The median NRS pain level on ED arrival (interquartile 
      range [IQR]) was 7 (5-8). The median BPI-SF score (IQR) was 57 (43-73) on a 0-110 
      scale. Fit indices for the two-factor structure were statistically superior when 
      compared with the one-factor model of the BPI-SF (comparative fit index 0.90 vs 
      0.64). Higher pain severity score, pain interference score, and total BPI-SF 
      score were associated with higher NRS scores (P < 0.01). The mean time needed to 
      complete the BPI-SF (SD) was 3 minutes 47 seconds (1 minute 35 seconds). 
      Seventy-three percent of the patients preferred the BPI-SF to the NRS for pain 
      assessment in the ED. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates the validity, 
      feasibility, and utility of the BPI-SF in the ED setting.
