A Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score >10 defined depression.
Primary outcome measure was poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale score 4-6) after 1 month.
Poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin scale score of 4 or 5, or death.
Welfare Adjusted Scale Score: Method Toward the Development of an Equal-Interval Welfare Scale.
The primary outcome variable was a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 1 (good outcome).
Results: The PPBS score correlated significantly with the Feeding Scale score (r =.27, P <.005) and with the Teaching Scale score (r =.23, P <.01).
In regression models adjusting for social and demographic factors, the PPBS remained a significant predictor of the Feeding Scale score, the Teaching Scale score, and security of attachment.
In the professional drivers, the occurrence of 12-month LBP, high intensity of LBP (Von Korff pain scale score ⩾5), and LBP disability (Roland & Morris disability scale score ⩾12) significantly increased with increasing cumulative vibration exposure.
The average reading performance by third graders rose by almost 18 scale score points between the spring exam and the end-of-summer exam, while the average fourth grade reading performance rose by 14 scale score points.
The difference in the postoperative visual analog scale score between the 2 groups was statistically significant.
The results also confirm the convergent validity and scale score reliability of the PSI-VS subscales.
