The Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) is a frequently used questionnaire to assess somatic symptom burden. The Somatic Symptom Scale China (SSS-CN) was recently developed as a comprehensive self-report instrument in assessing somatic symptom burden, but its assessment value has not yet been widely tested in a nationwide. The study aims to investigate the reliability of the SSS-CN, to validate discriminate validity and factorial validity, and to investigate its utility in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) based on multi-centers inpatients.
