Background: To date, specific scales for the assessment of severity of somatoformdisorders are still rare.
2
Regarding CAP-related knowledge, both paediatricians and GPs rated somatoformdisorders and obesity as highly important for daily practice.

Conclusions: The QUISS could be a useful instrument in somatoformdisorders for the assessment of syndrome severity and treatment outcome in scientific and clinical settings.
4
Not only number, severity and frequency of somatoform symptoms, but also common cognitive and behavioural domains of somatoformdisorders have been included into this instrument.

Objective: Excessive symptom reporting (ESR) has gained a revived attention in the conceptualization of somaticsymptomdisorders.
2
We aimed to explore whether ESR captures the concept of somaticsymptomdisorders regardless of the patient's disease status or the degree of symptom burden.
