概括
使用SLEDAI-2 K和SLE-DAS评估全身性红斑狼 (SLE) 疾病活动显示出强烈的相关性. SLE-DAS提供了更详细的见解,特别是对于患有皮肤和血液病的患者.
科学领域:
- 类风湿病学 类风湿病学
- 临床免疫学临床免疫学
- 系统性红斑狼研究研究
背景情况:
- 精确评估系统性红斑狼 (SLE) 疾病活动对于指导治疗决策至关重要.
- 现有的工具,如SLEDAI-2K (系统性狼红斑疹疾病活动指数2K) 使用二分项,而SLE-DAS (系统性狼红斑疹疾病活动得分) 结合了二分和连续变量.
研究的目的:
- 评估来自西班牙中部的SLE患者的SLEDAI-2K和SLE-DAS之间的相关性.

Spearman's Rank Correlation Test
1.1K
Spearman's rank correlation test, also known as Spearman's rho, is a nonparametric method for assessing the strength and direction of association between two variables. This test is particularly valuable when the data distribution is unknown or when the assumption of normality does not hold. Named after the English psychologist and statistician Dr. Charles Edward Spearman, it serves as the nonparametric counterpart to Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
167
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies
713
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Longitudinal Studies
256
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
14.4K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects
10
Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...
