Confounding analysis and VR dosage distribution.
| (A) Potential confounding variables: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Correlation with VR sessions | p-value | Clinical interpretation | |
| Hospital length of stay | r = 0.664 | p = 0.002 | Strong confounder | |
| Age | r = −0.18 | p = 0.46 | Minimal confounding | |
| Days to VR initiation | r = 0.31 | p = 0.20 | Moderate confounding | |
| (B) VR session distribution (showing “scattered range”): | ||||
| Sessions | n (%) | Cumulative % | Mean USEQ ± SD | High satisfaction* |
| 1 | 6 (31.6%) | 31.6% | 24.2 ± 8.1 | 4/6 (66.7%) |
| 2 | 5 (26.3%) | 57.9% | 23.8 ± 7.2 | 3/5 (60.0%) |
| 3–5 | 2 (10.5%) | 68.4% | 21.0 ± 4.2 | 1/2 (50.0%) |
| 6–10 | 4 (21.1%) | 89.5% | 27.5 ± 3.1 | 3/4 (75.0%) |
| 11–13 | 2 (10.5%) | 100% | 26.0 ± 0.0 | 2/2 (100%) |
High satisfaction = USEQ ≥25 points.
