Application of T1 scale in evaluating effects of long-term therapy

IntroductionModern medicine employs various approaches to analyzing data collected through clinical observation. The results of such analyses demonstrate general tendencies of the observations, yet they do not point to the dynamics of the therapeutic process.AimThe authors of the present study propose introducing the T1 scale, thanks to which one can analyse the results and course of each patient's treatment in relation to normal distribution. The aim of this study is to prove that T1 scale is functional in evaluating the effects of long-term therapy.Material and methodsThe study shows that T1 scale, which is realized through the formula y = 10zi + 50, is a universal scale. It has been concluded that the interval of T1 scale determines effective dynamics of therapeutic procedures. The study encompasses 234 term infants born with normal weights who were diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. The subjects were observed every 6 weeks. T1 scale was applied in order to evaluate the dynamics of clinical change of the analysed features.Results and discussionThe scale precisely differentiates the population, that is the number of patients for whom beneficial therapeutic effects were observed, the closer the values in T1 scale are to the mean value of T1 scale. T1 scale makes it possible to evaluate clinical observations in the treatment process in a precise manner in line with evidence-based medicine (EBM).ConclusionsT1 scale makes it possible to evaluate clinical observations in the course of treatment in a precise manner in line with EBM.
