prwe calculates the ^PRWE scores^ (Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation) from your re
> cords

The PRWE is a 15-item questionnaire designed to measure wrist pain and disabili
> ty in 
activites of daily living. 
It consists of two subscales: pain (5 items scored 0-10) and function (10 items
>  scored 0-10). 

Two subscale scores are computed and a total score is computed by summing the t
> wo subscales scores. 

The PRWE includes two subscale scores (pain and function) as well as a total sc
> ore. 


Syntax: 
^prwe^ varlist [if] [in], generate(newvarname)  [subscales]

        ^varlist^ must contain the 15 numeric variables to calculate the PRWE t
> otal score, these
        should appear in the same order as in the questionnaire (var1-var5 for 
> pain and var6-var15 for function)

        ^gen(^varname^)^ is used to specify where the total score has to be sto
> red

        ^subscales^ is specified if the subscales scores have to be stored
                
 
                  
Examples: 

^prwe^ PRWE1-PRWE15, gen(PRWE)  
^prwe^ Pain1-Pain5 Function1-Function10, gen(PRWE) sub
^prwe^ PRWE1-PRWE5, gen(PRWE) sub

Note:
The variables containing the information for the calculation have to be numeric
> al and 
contain values between 1 and 10. 


Treatment of Missing Data:
