An ordinal logistic regression model will also be considered based upon the proportional odds assumption using the original 5 point ordinal scale as the outcome.
The unstandardized dose effect on 12-wk pain (using the original 100-point pain scale) was −2.2 points per 6 visits.
Family support, expressed using the original 10-point scale, was rated 8.3 according to nurses and doctors, and 7.0 according to relatives.
Patient care, when expressed using the original 10-point scale, was 8.1 (according to doctors), 7.5 (according to nurses) and 7.3 (according to relatives).
We used the full 20-item version of the purpose in life subscale of a Dutch translation of the PWB (Arrindell, personal communication), using the original six-point Likert scale format.
Statistical analysis using the original five-point scale for nocturnal sweating frequency showed the same findings as using the binomial distribution for frequent sweating of ≥3× week (data not shown).
Our scale adaptations did not prevent score inflation, which corresponds with other studies: For example, several authors found high mean scores using the original 9-point mini-CEX scale [ 27, 46, 47 ], while others observed the same phenomenon e.g. using a 6-point scale [ 25, 48 ].
Using the original cut-off point of 40 on the original 15-item version, 74.2% (N = 601) of this study's sample had a tendency for ON.
Who is using the original recipe today remains a point of debate.
To evaluate the quality of the reduced model, we also computed the probability (29) using the original model (26) at two points within the considered interval for the parameter k4.
