For each patient, at each visit we investigate if (a) SOC measurements and (b) eKARE measurements were recorded.
In this section we assume SOC is the gold-standard and
compare accuracy of eKARE measurements relative to
SOC measurements.
For patient \(j\) in center \(i\) and visit \(k\), we calculate the
absolute percentage error for a measurement type (say,
width) denoted by \(APE^{w}_{ijk}\) as follows: \[APE^{w}_{ijk} = 100 \times \left(\frac{\left|
\text{SOC}^w_{ijk} - \text{eKARE}^w_{ijk} \right|}{ \text{SOC}^w_{ijk}}
\right).\] We summarise this percentage error at a center-level
and examine boxplots for each of the three measurement categories:
length, width, and area, with the
intent of comparing accuracy across different study center.
length## Warning: Removed 1 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).
width## Warning: Removed 1 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).
area (derived from length and
width for SOC measurements)## Warning: Removed 1 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).
