Spearman’s Correlation value (r) is between -1 to 1. Positive value indicates positive correlation, negative value indicates negative correlation.
*PD worsening here refers to severity of the reported worsening.
**Side effects severity refers to severity of general non-specific symptoms like fever, chills, headaches, fatigue, etc.
The important relationships with higher correlation coefficients are highlighted in the yellow box.
