Introduction

When two methods such as 6min walk (MW) and Single Breath Count (SBC) are compared neither provides an unequivocally correct measurement. Here we investigate 2 directions: we estimate the correlation between 6min walk distance [m] and SBC counts, and assess the degree of agreement of those two methods. Finally we discuss if SBC is an alternative to the 6min walk for patients impaired mobility, or no access to instruments to measure V02 update via work. Since

Step 1 Plotting Data: Plot data and draw the line of equality on which all points would lie if the two meters gave exactly the same reading every time. Helpful for gauging the degree of agreement between measurements.

Step 2 Pearson Coefficient: The product-moment correlation coefficient (r) or Pearson’s Coefficient between the results of the two measurement methods and apply the t-test. However, a high correlation does not mean that the two methods agree. Why ?

• 1. r measures the strength of a relation between two variables, not the agreement between them. We have perfect agreement only if the points lie along the line of equality (45 degrees), but we will have perfect correlation if the points lie along any straight line.
     
• 2. measurements can be uncorrelated but in agreement. Thats why a test of significance of correlation is not a test of agreement

Step 3 Measuring Agreement: We want to know by how much the new method is likely to differ from the old: if this is not enough to cause problems in clinical interpretation we can replace the old method by the new or use the two interchangeably. A plot of the difference between the methods against their mean is more informative. Scaling

Dataset Statistics

Summary

SBC Model: SBD is very significantly (< 0.001) associated with 6 min walk. On average 1 count translates to about 7.6 meters on min walk distance. The predictive error +- 77.4 m.

SBC FULL Model: Show strong association with SBC, BMI, AGE,and DiaBP. The predictability improves with BMI and AGE, and DiaBP. Interesting and expected is the effect of Age, BMI on the predictabilty of 6 min walk distance. The WK doesn’t play role, interestingly.

SBD MIN Model: Show strong association with SBC, BMI, AGE,and DiaBP. The predictability improves with BMI and AGE, and DiaBP. Interesting and expected is the effect of Age, BMI on the predictabilty of 6 min walk distance.

WK: The slopes of wk0 to wk3 are similar, which indicates that correlation between 6MW and SBC doesn’t change over time.
BMI: Patients with obesity III dont exhibit a correlation between SBC and 6MW

Assessment

The assessment consist of 2 parts: first how similar are the 6min walk and SBC as techniques, and do they deliver the same results or different results. The Band-Altman plot is used to visualize the differnces. Second, we test the correlation between the 6min walk and SBC using the Pearson Correlation and t-test.

Bland-Altman Plot

A Bland-Altman plot is used to visualize the differences in measurements between two different instruments or two different measurement techniques. Used for determining how similar the two techniques are at measuring the same construct.

The Bland-Altman shows the agreement between SBC and 6min walk. If they are measuring the same. That means, even if the pearson correlation is 0 you can still have high agreement.

Test for normal distribution: shapiro wilk test

\[\begin{aligned} &H0: \text{normally distributed}\\ &H1: \text{not normally distributed}\\ \end{aligned}\]

Result: All p-values are > 0.05, H0 can’t be rejected, this indicates that the data for both the 6-minute walk distance and the single breath count are normally distributed in our study population. Pearson correlation analysis becomes more appropriate and reliable.

Test for linear covariance relationship

Visual inspection of the data normality using Q-Q plots (quantile-quantile plots).

Remark: The qq-plot shows are linear relationship between the theoretical normally distributed values and the data distribution.

pearson correlation

Strength of correlation:
Week 1: The correlation coefficient of 0.562 indicates a moderate positive correlation between the 6-minute walk distance and the single breath count during week 1.
Week 2: The correlation coefficient of 0.489 also indicates a moderate positive correlation between the variables during week 2.
Week 3: The correlation coefficient of 0.749 suggests a strong positive correlation between the variables during week 3.

Direction of correlation: Positive correlation coefficients, counts increase with distance of 6-minute walk.

correlation test

Result: All p-values are < 0.05, which allows us to reject the H0, and conclude that the correlation is different from 0.

Actionability:

1. Is the SBC an alternative to 6min given specific conditions?
   
2. When could it be used, and would provide a value add in managing a patient’s recovery?

Next Steps

• Investigate the 3 outliers of Altman plot?
  
• Calculate the error when using the SBC instead of 6min walk data? Use linear regression.
  
• Literature research: studying how 6min walk was established as a proxy for C02 uptake measurement.
  
• List clinical decisions that are made based on 6min walk data. How likely does the error result in a wrong clinical decision?

Descriptive Statistics

Pre-Processing

Remove mean from SBC, MWTD for each patient. mean = mean(SBC week 1, 3, 6, MTWD week 1, 3, 6)

Findings:
The graphic shows the means (wk1 & wk3 & wk6) of MW (red) and SBC (blk) per patient, see annoation. The mean differences per SBC and MW per among patient are large and infuence the prediction and increase the variabiliy. . For predicting MW using SBC I remove the mean of SBC and MW of each patient for better predictability.
