Letícia Assis Couto's study includes 40 individuals with fibromyalgia diagnosed under the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria. The dataset likely contains patient scores from the ASAS-R, VAS, WPI, SS, and FIQR questionnaires, measuring self-care agency, pain, symptom severity, and quality of life. Analysis used Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients with a 5% significance level.
Use Cases
- Correlating self-care agency with social status based on the reported correlation coefficient (r=0.391)
- Analyzing the relationship between self-care agency and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire domains (function, overall impact, symptoms)
- Investigating associations between pain scores (VAS, WPI) and symptom severity (SS) in fibromyalgia patients
- Modeling the impact of self-care on overall quality of life based on the FIQR total score correlation (r=-0.375)
Strengths
- Includes data from 40 diagnosed fibromyalgia patients
- Reports specific mean and standard deviation values for key metrics (e.g., self-care agency 52.75±10.25, FIQR 63.98±17.26)
- Uses standardized clinical assessment tools (ASAS-R, VAS, WPI, SS, FIQR)
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
