Dear Lizzy,

“The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) assesses the types of activities typically chosen by older adults (walking, recreational activities, exercise, housework, yard work, and caring for others. It uses frequency, duration, and intensity level of activity over the previous week to assign a score, ranging from 0 to 793, with higher scores indicating greater physical activity.”

The score 100 (one hundred) will be the standard of Man’s normal biophysics. Down such a scale you would meet the developments of variables estimated dimensions of the individual de-velopments in analysis. Distribute these dimensions from hundred (100) to 0 (zero), and then, make analysis and work-up the correlations between all behavioral dimensions of the person. The neuropsychiatric rehabilitation processes of the elderly and biophysical would focus on the most fragile dimensions of the elderly.

How to deal with missing data when scoring Physical Activity Scale for Elderly (PASE)?

Question

5 answers

Asked 29 November 2016

Ailar Ramadi

I have purchased the PASE scoring manual and have been trying to use the Syntax in SPSS. However, the Syntax won’t calculate the PASE score when there are missing data in the questionnaire. This occurs specifically in questions 2,3,4,5,6, and 10 where the questions include multiple parts. Has anyone had a similar experience? Do I need to use a different software?

Also, there is no clear instruction in the manual on how to deal with missing data when scoring the questionnaire manually.

Does anyone know how to deal with missing data when scoring the questionnaire?

Thanks.

Degrees of freedom (df) and the F value, at the output of repeated measures ANOVA (within-subject and between subject), are used with p value when reporting this result. But, what do they mean? How should we interpret these values?

Effect Size Measures for Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test in Likert Scale Data Analysis?

Question

Asked 24 February 2024

Adam R.S. Barton

Hello ResearchGate community,

I'm currently analyzing a dataset derived from a survey of ~200 paired responses across two time points. The survey is of teachers and students, using 60 Likert-like items to assess beliefs about education. After factor analysis, I derived three core factors.

I'm now trying to assess the relative magnitude of change in factor scores over two time points. I say relative magnitude because, for all factors, the scores decreased. So I need to see 1) whether changes were significant and 2) the size of those changes.

Preliminary tests, including Shapiro-Wilk, Q-Q plots, and outlier detection, indicated non-normality, guiding me to utilize a Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

However, I'm at a crossroads regarding the appropriate effect size measure. Traditional non-parametric effect size measures, like rank biserial correlation, seem to fall short for my purpose, as they primarily address the probability of difference -- rather than the magnitude of change I'm interested in capturing. I've established that two factors saw a statistically significant change using Wilcoxon signed rank. But I need to understand how big these deceases were and hopefully compare the two.

I'm contemplating justifying the use of Cohen's d or exploring median-based measures for a more accurate reflection of the change magnitude. But I'm struggling to find relevant info online. I've seen references to things like Hodges Lehmann, using simple median change, etc. But nothing solid.

Does anyone have insights or references on how to effectively apply a median measure in this context or justify using Cohen's d with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for ordinal Likert data?

I appreciate any guidance or shared experiences on this matter.

Can we perform a MANCOVA for paired data?

Question

Youssef Soliman

I have data for a cross-over randomized controlled trial. I wonder if I can use MANCOVA to compare my outcomes (they are continuous) while having paired data. If I can't, what would be an appropriate test here? I have some covariates that I want to account for. I already did some Wilcoxon tests, but it didn't account for covariates.

The design of the study is as follows:

There are two groups: Group is given treatment (a drug) and then control (Sequence AP). Another group is given control then treatment (the same drug) (PA sequence). Between the treatment and control, there is a washout period.

I have four DVs that are continuous. Each variable is measured two times. For example, the AP sequence had the variables measured one time after the intervention (t0) and another time after the place (t1). Same thing for the PA sequence. They had the placebo, then had the variables measured (t0), then a washout period, then the intervention, and then the DVs were measured again (t1). I have covariates that are measured at baseline (before the study starts). So think of my data as a dataframe with the following columns:

1- Sequence (AP vs PA)

1- Compare between t0 and t1 for each sequence while controlling for covariates. I started with Wilcoxon test to compare t0 and t1 considering that this is paired data and some of the DVs are not normally distributed. However, I know that Wilcoxon doesn't account for my covariates. I thought about using MANCOVA (but am not sure if it is the right one because some of my DVs are not normally distributed and my data is paired data). Ignoring the normality thing, can we use MANCOVA for this scenario? In case of Mancova, I will have to convert my wide data to long data (i.e., instead of having each DV presented as column t0 once and t1 once, I will put them on top of each other). My DVs would be my four continuous DVs, then we have an independent categorical variable (drug vs placebo) and continuous covariates. I can do that for each sequence separately, then combine them.

Btw, Wilcoxon didn't find any significant difference.

2- If MANCOVA is not valid, what would be a simple but robust solution?

The correlation method below would work? I assume if the difference between t0 and t1 is not correlated with my covariates, then it is unlikely that they might be confounding variables.

Update: I am thinking of using correlation between the difference in my DVs (t1-t0) with my covariates to create a correlation matrix. If they are not significant, then it is safe to say that these covariates are not confounding my results. Does that make sense?

Any advice?

How can i calculate sample size using G power?

Safia Halwsh

I'm planning to conduct random control trials with two parallel groups. What effect size (magnitude of effect) should I input into G-Power to determine an appropriate sample size?

The previous trials had a small sample of around 10 to 15, which was a limitation on the trails, and I want to strengthen the evidence by having a larger sample.

How to cite clinical trials using Endnote?

Question

Asked 18 August 2023

Rizwan Qaisar

I use Endnote X9 on PC, and am trying to cite clinical trials from https://clinicaltrials.gov/.

I downloaded and saved the clinicaltrials filter for endnote. I downloaded the relevant file as plain text from clinicaltrials.gov, and imported it to Endnote. But I cannot find it in my Endnote library. No error message appears either.

I basically followed this tutorial step by step,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVn9QjQRNF0

Two observations,

1. My page from the Clinicaltrials website (screenshot below) seems different than the one shown in the video at 0:32.

2. The downloaded plain text file in the tutorial (shown at 2:16) seems to have way more details than mine, which only shows NCT number.

But the problem is, when I try to download a relevant file for a clinical trial (no matter ongoing or completed trial), I see this message,

'''Data Fields

Currently only NCTId field is available to download for Text format''.

I suspect this is the problem, but any idea how to go around it?

thanks
