Background: Semiquantitative summed stressscores (SSS) on stress sestamibi images provideincremental prognostic information toward the identifi- cation of cardiac death and myocardial infarction.High-Sensitivity C-Reactive protein (hs-CRP) has also been shown to be a powerful predictor of cardio-...
The scores on these nine items were summed to generate the total lockdown-experienced distress score, which ranges from 9 to 45. The Cronbach's alpha of this measure for the entire sample was 0.82, indicating good internal consistency. 2.4. Statistical analysis Descriptive statistics were ...
Summed stress and difference scores, stress and reversible extent % of perfusion abnormalities, and lung heart ratio was calculated. Results: There was no significant difference in the mean summed stress score (9±9 versus 13±10, P=0.13), summed difference score (4±3 versus 6±5, P=0.13...
Hurricane-related fear/distress was a summed score of three items on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = Not at All to 3 = A Whole Lot). Internal consistency for this subscale was α = 0.679. Actual life threat was assessed by summing eight items (1 = Yes, 0 = No...
The scores were then summed to provide a total score out of 32. A score ≥ 6 points indicates the likely presence of CVS. In this study, the Cronbach α for this scale was 0.905. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9,22 validated in Lebanon...
The scores were summed (maximum score 25) and then multiplied by 4 (range 0 to 100 with lower scores indicate lower well-being). The cut-off level of ≤ 50 was used to indicate poor psychological well-being, which may indicate stress or depression [23]. Impact of Migraine, TTH ...
. Scores were summed so that higher scores indicated higher anxiety (range 0–21). A score of 10 or greater has high sensitivity (89%) and specificity (82%) for a clinical diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (Spitzer et al.,2006). Test-retest reliability was 0.83 (Spitzer et al.,...
32 Memory was assessed using the California Verbal Learning Test-233 short and long-delay free recall, and learning was tested using the California Verbal Learning Test-2 total score on trials 1 to 5. We assessed letter fluency using the Letter Fluency Test PRW set.34 Semantic fluency was ...
33 Items 3 and 4 were reverse-coded; the total score was summed (range, 0-16), with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. Participants rated lifetime discrimination “due to their race, ethnicity, or color” across settings (eg, at school, getting medical care, from the police)...
Student’s t-test was used to assess potential group differences in resilience, depression risk assessment and life satisfaction. Cohen's d statistics were used to determine the effect size. Values ranging from 0.2 to 0.5 were interpreted as small, those ranging from 0.5 to 0.8 were interpreted...
