Testing hypothesis of correlation (Pearson, r) between change scores of MOBID-2 and change scores of CMAI, NPI-NH, FAST, MMSE and ADL after 8 weeks of pain treatment, n = 104
Measurement | MOBID-2 | Expected range in correlation | Hypothesis confirmed? |
---|---|---|---|
CMAI | 0.351* | 0.60 > r ≥ 0.30 | Yes |
NPI-NH | 0.275* | 0.60 > r ≥ 0.30 | No |
FAST | −0.030 | r < 0.20 | Yes |
MMSE | −0.089 | r < 0.20 | Yes |
ADL | −0.081 | r < 0.20 | Yes |
