Components of measurement error for TpTe and QT

TpTe QT (QT)a (QT)bz

Source of variation SD (ms) % total SD (ms) % total SD (ms) % total SD (ms) % total
Between-participant 14 77 20 75 11 60 16 69
Between-visit 3 3 9 15 5 13 6 9
Within-visit 7 20 7 10 8 27 9 21
Total 16 100 23 100 15 100 19 100
ICC (95% CI) 0.77 (0.69, 0.85) 0.75 (0.65, 0.85) 0.60 (0.47, 0.73) 0.68 (0.57, 0.79)

SD: standard deviation; ICC: intra-class correlation coefficient; CI: confidence interval; SEM: standard error of measurement; MDC: minimum detectable change.

ICC=(between-participant variance)/(total variance)

SEM=√(between-visit variance + within-visit variance)

MDC=SEM*√2+1.96
