Figure 4.
Relationship between assessment of global QoL by the patient herself and by her CP. Comparison with the UICC grouping. For conditions of assessment see Patients and methods. For UICC grading a linear scale was assumed for the statistical model. (A) y=22+0.56x; Spearman ρ=0.43; P(2α)<0.01; n=158; ⊙ case with the strongest disagreement, for details of this patient see Figure 1. (B) y=64−0.48x; Spearman ρ=0.006; p(2α)=n.s.; n=148; case with the worst prognosis, but maximum global QoL.
