The results of the data of earthquake and tsunami disaster preparedness variables conducted in 18 wards were nine rooms for each group. Intervention group A disaster mitigation education activities used media in the form of a leaflet and group B used flip chart. The normality tested of the data was carried out through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results showed that all the data were normally distributed. The category levels of disaster preparedness are as follows: very ready if 80–100, ready 65–79, almost ready 55–64, less ready 40–54 and not ready <40, as shown as the table 2.

We first read the data in SPSS and check for normality of SOFA and APACHE scores in the two groups. This is done by using the one-sample Kolmogorov - Smirnov test with the following menu options.Select cases Outcome = 1Analyze → Nonparametric tests → Legacy dialogs 1-Sample K-S → Test variable list = (SOFA, APACHE) → Test distribution = Normal → OK

All statistical analyses were performed using statistical software, and a p value < 0.05 was considered significant. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the optimum cut-off values of the Simplified Selvester Score to predict successful fibrinolytic therapy. Clinical, laboratory and procedural data were compared with the use of Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and the Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables (expressed as counts and percentages). The correlation of the Simplified Selvester Score and troponin T was analysed by a correlation test. Continuous variables were analysed for normal distribution using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. To address concerns over confounding variables affecting successful fibrinolytics, we also performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis which significant variables in bivariate analysis before were included. The study protocol was reviewed and approved by our local institutional human research committee.

All data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software package, version 25.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). For general statistical reporting, the mean values from each data set were calculated with standard deviations (SDs). A level of P < .05 was accepted as statistically significant. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the sample distribution. The p-value for the Kolmogorov– Smirnov test was >0.05 (the actual values ranged from 0.072 to 0.326) for all of the continuous parameters analyzed. One-way analysis of variance test and post hoc Tukey test, independent samples t-test, Spearman and Pearson correlation analysis were performed for the statistical analysis of the data. For the significantly correlated parameters, logistic regression models were used to identify associations between presence of BD and the studied parameters. Logistic regression models were also used to identify associations between activity of BD and the correlated studied parameters.

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to analyze the sample distribution. To compare groups at baseline, the Student’s t test for independent samples was used. In the longitudinal analysis, “linear general mixed models”, estimated by a restricted maximum likelihood algorithm, were used to compare the effects in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors and healthy postmenopausal women over zero, three, six, and nine months on muscle strength, aerobic capacity, load progression of resistance exercises, and body composition. Training group was included as the between-subject factor, time (zero, three, six, and nine months) was included as the repeated within-subjects factor, time × group was included as the interaction, and subject was included as a random effect. When a significant interaction was observed, a Bonferroni post hoc test was applied. For all measured variables, the estimated sphericity was verified according to Mauchly’s W test and the Greenhouse-Geisser correction was used when necessary and all estimated sphericity was assumption. The effect size was calculated via Cohen’s d and significance was set at alpha =0.05. The data were analyzed using Statsoft Statistic software (StatSoft, Tulsa, OK, version 10).

We performed statistical analyses using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to analyze the distribution of samples. The independent Student’s t-test, non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test, and chi-square test were used to compare the groups. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the initial and final choroidal thicknesses. A logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the impacts of patient selection and treatment factors on the outcome. All data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. P values <.05 were considered statistically significant.
