Schizo_PANSS | R Documentation |
These are the longitudinal PANSS data of five clinical trial in schizophrenia. A total of 2151
patients were treated by 198
investiagators (psychiatrists). There were two treatment conditions (risperidone and control). Patients' schizophrenic symptoms were measured using the PANSS at different time moments following start of the treatment. The variables Week1-Week8 express the change scores over time using the raw (semi-continuous) PANSS scores. The variables Week1_bin - Week8_bin are binary indicators of a 20
% or higher reduction in PANSS score versus baseline. The latter corresponds to a commonly accepted criterion for defining a clinically meaningful response (Kay et al., 1988).
data(Schizo_PANSS)
A data.frame
with 2151
observations on 6
variables.
Id
The patient ID.
InvestID
The ID of the investigator (psychiatrist) who treated the patient.
Treat
The treatment indicator, coded as -1
= placebo and 1
= Risperidone.
Week1
The change in the PANSS score 1
week after starting the treatment (= score at the end of the treatment - score at 1
week after starting the treatment).
Week2
The change in the PANSS score 2
weeks after starting the treatment.
Week4
The change in the PANSS score 4
weeks after starting the treatment.
Week6
The change in the PANSS score 6
weeks after starting the treatment.
Week8
The change in the PANSS score 8
weeks after starting the treatment.
Week1_bin
The dichotomized change in the PANSS score 1
week after starting the treatment (1
=a 20
% or higher reduction in PANSS score versus baseline, 0
=otherwise).
Week2_bin
The dichotomized change in the PANSS score 2
weeks after starting the treatment.
Week4_bin
The dichotomized change in the PANSS score 4
weeks after starting the treatment.
Week6_bin
The dichotomized change in the PANSS score 6
weeks after starting the treatment.
Week8_bin
The dichotomized change in the PANSS score 8
weeks after starting the treatment.
