[The Franco-Prussian war commenced on 19 July 1870].
The focus of the study however, was on QoL differences and adverse symptoms in HD and PD patients who recently commenced and those on long-term treatment.
Regarding the PD groups, differences in QoL and mental health between patients who recently commenced and those on long term treatment are not significant.
Regarding differences within the four patient groups consisting of HD and PD patients who recently commenced and those on long term treatment (early/later years of treatment), One-Way ANOVA analysis was conducted.
The main focus of the present study was to examine QoL in HD and PD patients and investigate differences between patients who recently commenced and those on long-term treatment.
In general, HD patients appear to endorse a more stable pattern of illness beliefs over time, as these patients, both those recently commenced and those on long term treatment appear to hold a similar weighting in the dimensions of health locus of control.
Differences are examined between patients who recently commenced treatment compared to patients on long term treatment.
Next, the analyses performed aimed to: a) Investigate differences between patients who had recently commenced treatment and those on long term treatment within the HD and PD modalities.
Differences were examined between patients who recently commenced treatment and those on long-term treatment (early and later years of current treatment).
Next, independent Samples T-tests were performed to check differences between patients who recently commenced treatment and those on long term treatment within each treatment modality.
This table displays the results of One-Way ANOVA demonstrating differences between HD and PD patients classified into the categories of patients who recently commenced treatment and patients on long term treatment.
