Comparison of the CDT in each group
| Total (n = 47) | Fall group (n = 22) | Non-fall group (n = 25) | p value | Effect size φ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quantitative total score in CDT1 | 5 (0–10) | 3 (0–10) | 6 (1–10) | 0.006* | 0.40 |
| Qualitative error types in CDT (with/without)2 | |||||
| Size of the clock | 7/40 | 4/18 | 3/22 | 0.690 | 0.09 |

| Perseveration | 9/38 | 6/16 | 3/22 | 0.270 | 0.19 |
Data are presented as median (range) or number of persons, as appropriate. CDT, clock drawing test.
p < 0.01; errors based on conceptual deficit were significantly more common in the fall group than in the non-fall group (p = 0.001, φ = 0.51).
Mann-Whitney U test.
Fisher's exact test.
