The third step explores multivariate models, such as regression and path analysis between the primary measure (overall or specific CS uptake rate by different evaluation time points) and the secondary measures and socio-demographics of study subjects.
The idea required building a cartridge that mixed blood with reagent powders and used electronic sensors to measure analytes, or specific chemical compounds like glucose, potassium and telltale enzymes that provide clues to organ function.
EQ-5D (The EuroQol Group 1990, Brooks 1996) is a well-established generic health outcome measure specially designed to complement other quality-of-life measures, or disease-specific outcome measures, and it has also been used for economic evaluation of healthcare for several years (Dawson et al. 2001, Linde 2009, Rolfson 2010).
Furthermore, it seems reasonable to assume at least moderate correlations (r > 0.5) for measures assessing similar concepts but having different questions, such as the different CKD-specific measures, or the CKD-specific and generic measures with common domains.
