Group comparisons based on severity of osteoarthritis of continuous measurements were conducted using either the one-way analysis of variances (ANOVA) or the Kruskall-Wallis test, as appropriate.
For the investigation of a possible dose response relationship between psoriasis and MetS, medication was used as a surrogate marker of psoriasis severity (continuous variable of disease severity: 1, no prescription; 2, prescription without systemic medication; 3, prescription with systemic medication), and WChigher as a surrogate end point of MetS in the age-adjusted logistic regression model.
Headache and neck pain were compared for location and mode of onset (thunderclap, acute, gradual, and progressive), severity of pain (severe, moderate), continuousness (intermittent, continuous), and quality (constrictive, throbbing).
Testing was performed by regression of continuous severity variables on the number of minor alleles carried by patients.
They found sex, social benefit, severity of pain, duration of continuous pain at first consultation, and additional neck pain predictive of failure to recover in the short term.
Severity of CAD as a continuous variable (including patients with non-obstructive disease) was associated with metabolite factors 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9; only factors 7 and 10 were associated in multivariable models.
The purpose of this study was to use spectral and cepstral analyses of speech to investigate whether underlying physiological changes in voice result in changes in acoustic estimates of dysphonia severity in continuous speech contexts within a single breath group.
AVEC'13 and AVEC'14 addressed the problem of estimating the severity of depressive symptomatology as a continuous variable as indexed by (self-reported) BDI scores.
Increased concentration of tunicamycin gradually elevated the severity of ER stress indicated by continuous up-regulation of GRP78 protein and cell death in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1A).
