The Kaplan-Meier method and the Log rank test were used to calculate the actuarial survival rates. In the multivariate analysis, the factors with a p-value<0.05 in the univariate analysis were included. The p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant in the multivariate analysis, which...
In order for your survey to be representative for an entire population, you need to calculate the number of respondents: the survey sample size. Here's how!
The Kaplan-Meier method and the Log rank test were used to calculate the actuarial survival rates. In the multivariate analysis, the factors with a p-value<0.05 in the univariate analysis were included. The p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant in the multivariate analysis, which...
The ECG signal was amplified through the ECG100C system and measured using a standard lead II electrode configuration. A detector system computed beat-to-beat distances between peaks of the QRS (R-waves) in order to calculate interbeat interval (IBI) values. IBI’s were then imported into Ku...
Information about self-reported anthropometric measurement (height and weight) of the participants was also collected, which allowed us to calculate the body mass index. Assessment of food addiction. The validated Arabic version of the modified version of the Yale Food Addiction Scale (mYFAS) [12]...
