Figure 2. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Score in Initial Surgery, Bracing, and Secondary Surgery Groups Over Time.

Figure 2.

Error bars indicate 95% CIs of the point estimates of group means. Boxes indicate 25th and 75th percentiles of observed values; horizontal lines within boxes indicate median DASH scores; error bars indicate the highest and lowest values within 1.5 times the interquartile range; and points beyond the error bars indicate individual values outside of this range. The 14 patients in the bracing group who underwent secondary surgery during the 2-year follow-up period form the secondary surgery group. Before fracture indicates the time point of randomization after sustaining the fracture when patients were asked about their perceived preinjury DASH scores. Number of patients with available DASH scores at each time point is indicated per treatment group. One patient did not report the DASH score at baseline and we were unable to retrieve this information later (eTable 6 in Supplement 2). No imputation was performed for missing data. See eTable 7 in Supplement 2 for data. See eFigure 3 in Supplement 2 for parallel line plot.
