Comparison of VANS scores by scenario.
| Scenario comparisons | Polyneuropathy disease category | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All | No PN | PN-F | PN+F | |
| In-Person vs. Remote | 1.33* | 0.17 | 1.90* | 1.78 |
| (A+B vs. C+D+E) | (0.52–2.15) | (−0.63–0.97) | (0.53–3.27) | (−0.05–3.61) |
| In-Person vs. TCT Remote | 1.28* | 0.22 | 1.71* | 1.85 |
| (A+B vs. D+E) | (0.38–2.18) | (−0.65–1.09) | (0.19–3.23) | (−0.18–3.87) |
| Neurologist vs. Technician (remote exams only) | −0.16 | 0.16 | −0.58 | 0.20 |
| (C vs. D+E) | (−1.27–0.95) | (−0.95–1.27) | (−2.43–1.26) | (−2.25–2.66) |
The table displays differences in scores (with 95% confidence intervals) based on post-regression contrasts of the mixed effects model. The first column describes the scenario groupings (see Table 1 for scenario descriptions). Column 2 displays the results for the entire cohort, while columns 3–5 display the results for the corresponding polyneuropathy disease category. Scores are positive when the first scenario grouping is higher than the second.
