-Patients were randomized to receive integrated palliative care (early PC, n=110) or oncology care alone (Control, n=119). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Medical Health Outcomes Survey-Short Form (SF-36) were completed by the patients at baseline and 12 weeks post-intervention. SF-36 comprises two QoL indicators: physical (PCS)and Mental (MCS) component Summaries, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to examine the effect of the intervention by controlling for baseline data. The table below shows the test results for HADS and PCS (alpha =.05). Which of the following statements regarding the test results are correct?

SF-36 comprises physical and mental components. Adjusted mean
scores indicate the quality of life. A higher adjusted mean score
indicates a better quality of life.
A, After adjusting the baseline PCS scores, the early PC group
reported significant high PCS scores at week 12 than the control
group.
control adjusted mean score (51.40) and early PC group(52.94) at
week 12. A higher score indicates a better quality of life.

1- Schizophrenia patients were randomized to receive either a 10-week Resistance Training (n=12) or Usual Care (n=13). Psychotic symptoms were measured at baseline and 10 weeks by a psychiatrist using the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), The PANSS yields total psychotic symptom severity (Total), positive symptom severity (PSS) and negative symptom severity (NSS)scores. A repeated measures general linear model (also called Repeated Measure ANOVA) was used to analyze the intervention effects for psychotic symptoms. The time-by-group interaction results are...
Need help please show work 12 Table 4.4 shows results from the study of diabetic patients discussed in Goldman and Smith (2002). Recall that three groups of patients separated by education level were treated with one of two therapies (conventional vs. intensive). Their average hemoglobin Alc levels (also known as glycosylated hemoglobin) before and after the experiment are reported. Note that, as in golf, lower scores are better on the hemoglobin Alc test, which measures how well the patient has...
Identify the scientific premise, main hypothesis addressed by the paper and the research question of the paper Also, what is the main results and the implication of results IMPORTANCE Clinical outcomes for glioblastoma remain poor. Treatment with immune checkpoint blockade has shown benefits in many cancer types. To our knowledge, data from a randomized phase 3 clinical trial evaluating a programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor therapy for glioblastoma have not been reported. OBJECTIVE To determine whether single-agent PD-1 blockade with nivolumab...
