Table 4. Influence of pre-treatment factors on the difference in PLUTSS scores (a linear regression analysis).
Independent Variables: These are the factors being evaluated for their impact on the difference in Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (PLUTSS).
Unstandardized Coefficients (B): These represent the raw coefficients as computed directly from the data.
Standard Error (SE): This measures the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic, most commonly of the mean.
Standardized Coefficients (Beta): These are the coefficients obtained when the independent and dependent variables are standardized before the analysis.
T-Value: The T-value measures the size of the difference relative to the variation in the data.
Significance (p-value): The p-value represents the likelihood that the observed effect occurred by chance if the null hypothesis is true. A p-value less than 0.05 is generally considered statistically significant. Here, the correlation between Pre-treatment PLUTSS Score and the PLUTSS Score difference is statistically significant (*p<0.05), suggesting that Pre-treatment PLUTSS Score has a significant impact on the PLUTSS Score difference.
