Reliability estimates greater than 0.70 are acceptable, while values greater than 0.90 are ideal for instruments using an aggregate score for use in practice settings [14]. Construct validity was assessed by examining the symptoms associated with febrile and afebrile states. Figure 2 shows the ...

Higher HAQ values were demonstrated between 4 and 8 weeks after disease onset (mean score 1.87±0.82).ConclusionsWe demonstrated the impact of CF on HRQOL and Functional Status of patients. The SF-12 Health Survey, HAQ and GFS are influenced mostly by patients pain and worsening of this ...
was a significant limitation. The disease severity score increases with an earlier age of onset or in the presence of amyloidosis30. It is possible that the results may differ in younger patients or those with higher disease severity scores due to complications such as amyloidosis. A better under...
The recombina- tion event was confirmed if it satisfied by four or more methods when the P-value < 0.05 and the RDP recom- bination consensus score (RDPRCS) was > 0.6 [34]. The P-value < 0.05 with the RDPRCS between 0.4 and 0.6 indicated the possibility of the ...
