Figure 2: Baseline PPT as a non-linear correlate of ADL function.
ADL function (UPDRS part II; higher is worse) as a function of PPT score at baseline (left panel) or the final evaluation (right panel) (n=399). Analysis of variance supported the superiority of the quadratic function (red dashed lines) over the linear function (black lines) at baseline (df=1, F=23.2, p<0.0001), but not at the final visit (df=1, F=0.01, p=0.91). Adjusted R2 values were 0.153 and 0.106 for the quadratic and linear models at baseline, respectively.
