A striking difference between the self-report measures of physical function and performance measure graphs concerns the point at which preoperative scores are predicted to be met.
Wording differences between the self-report source (i.e. before your hospitalization) and medical record source (developed to capture both current and past conditions) items may account for some discordance.
Comparing correlation coefficients revealed no significant differences in correlations between any of the self-report measures and HbA1c levels (all P > 0.17).
In a validation study in the Nurses Health Study III, however, the difference between measured and self reported body weight at age 18 was, on average, only 1.4 kg.
The first analyses assessed BL differences between the FMS and HC groups for the self-report and the psychophysiological variables.
The largest differences between the self- and proxy-report versions were found for the correlation between the dimensions of Self-esteem and Family well-being, as well as for the correlation between the dimensions of Self-Esteem and Psychological well-being.
Given non-significant differences between parent proxy reports and significant differences between self-reports, the additional discrimination of QoL measures in addition to the parent reported CBCL could simply be interpreted as a result of the self-report perspective.
While Greek children rated their HRQOL significantly higher than their parents, there was no statistically-significant difference between child self-report and parent proxy-report in Iranians.
In an era where chronic diseases are important and health resources are often determined on self-reported estimates, it is important that the difference between self-report and actual estimates are known and documented.
The t-test for independent samples revealed no significant differences between the two groups regarding the self-report measures of interoception, BAQ: t 38) = −0.70, p = 0.24; PBCS: t 38) = −0.08, p = 0.47; MAIA: t 38) = −0.61, p = 0.27.
Calculations of differences between self reported and research staff measured data will be undertaken to identify a correction factor based on the methodology of Dhaliwal et al. [ 62].
