A First Comparative Study of Patient Reported Quality of Life and the Fluence-Based Decision Support Metric. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43534 , weight change ΔW, ΔVROI, and Δϕn, were analyzed using the ranked-Pearson correlation. Results: No statistically significant correlation was found for age, gender and ΔW. was found to have clinically important correlation with functional MDADI (ρ = −0.39, P = 0.081). ΔVROI was found to have statistically significant correlation of 0.44, 0.47 and 0.44 with global, physical and functional MDADI (P-value < 0.05). Δϕn was found to have statistically significant ranked-correlation (−0.46, −0.46 and −0.45) with physical, functional and total MDADI (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion: A transit fluence based decision support metric (DSM) is statistically correlated with the dysphagia risk. It can not only be used as an early signal in assisting clinicians in the ART patient selection for replanning, but also lowers the resource barrier of ART implementation.]]> Wed 21 Sep 2022 11:32:28 AEST ]]> Student focused oral health promotion in residential aged care facilities https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11272 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:49 AEDT ]]>
