Scale	1st test (mean ± SD)	2nd test (mean ± SD)	3rd test (mean ± SD)	ICC (CI range)	ES	SRM
Overall scale	716 ± 201	716 ± 201	864 ± 217	0.935 (0.909–0.954)	0.86	1.11
Physical symptoms	454 ± 133	457 ± 150	558 ± 145	0.855 (0.844–0.921)	1.06	0.96
Sports/reaction/work/lifestyle	117 ± 49	118 ± 57	157 ± 65	0.846 (0.786–0.891)	1.02	0.88
Emotions	145 ± 48	147 ± 56	149 ± 70	0.867 (0.813–0.905)	0.16	0.10

The 1st test was conducted at the beginning of this research (121 patients), the 2nd test was conducted 2 weeks later to calculate the test-retest reliability (ICC) of the Chinese version WOMET (121 patients), and the 3rd test was conducted 6 months later to calculate the responsiveness (ES, SRM) of the Chinese version WOMET (112 patients)
