The phrase "assess a difference in" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when evaluating or measuring the variation between two or more elements, such as data sets, groups, or conditions.
Example: "The researchers aimed to assess a difference in the effectiveness of the two treatments on patient recovery times."
Alternatives: "evaluate a discrepancy in" or "measure a variation in".
EDS analysis was performed also on another SEM to assess a difference in results.
Therefore, the appetitive phase induces memory retention regardless of being preceded by an aversive phase, though our method of data analysis does not allow us to assess a difference in the level of appetitive memory retention between crabs that received aversive learning and those that did not.
Given the overall favorable clinical course, the study was underpowered to assess a difference in surgical outcomes.
Cox regression models were fit to assess a difference in both length of stay in the hospital and length of stay on the floor.
Bignami and co-workers [ 26] did not assess a difference in postoperative troponin release in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing mitral valve surgery with a propofol anesthesia throughout the surgical procedure versus a sevoflurane anesthesia before and after CPB (pre- and postconditioning).
Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to assess (a) differences in nutrient-stimulated PYY responses between the two groups and (b) differences in the PYY response to different nutrient loads within each group.
As an alternative means of assessing a difference in eGFR between high and low risk groups, a partial regression plot was constructed, whereby the plot displayed the relationship of eGFR against time, after adjusting for the significant baseline covariates.
Since the Infinium DNAm platform uses quantitative genotyping of C/T SNPs introduced following bisulfite conversion to determine the level of DNAm, probes with polymorphisms at the target C or G have the potential of assessing a difference in genotype rather than a true difference in DNAm.
Adherence differences were assessed in a difference-in-difference approach by using generalized estimating equations that controlled for time, copayment exemption, an interaction between time and copayment exemption, and patient demographics, site, and other factors.
To assess whether a difference in 1-year DAS28-ESR existed between the BP group versus the BN group, an unpaired t test assuming equal variances revealed that mean DAS28-ESR 1-year levels were significantly lower in the 18 BN patients than in the 5 BP patients (2.09 ± 0.18 vs 3.09 ± 0.52; p = 0.033).
Experiment 2 (n = 12) used a forced-choice discrimination paradigm to assess whether a difference in unisensory stimulus discriminability could account for the learning trends in Experiment 1. Participants were significantly slower at discriminating unisensory pseudowords than the novel sounds and visual shapes, which was notable given that these stimuli produced superior learning.
