Introduction:
Primary research question: Is there an association between adult patient deaths and high heart rates (over 100bpm) among patients who test positive for the Ebola Virus Disease? (dichotomous categorical–continuous)
Two secondary questions: 2. Is there an association between body temperature and heart rate among Ebola positive patients? (continuous–continuous) 3. Is there an association between patient gender and outcome among Ebola positive patients? (categorical-categorical)
Ebola virus first encountered by the scientist in 1967.In the 1970s, first major outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever caused by Ebola virus occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan.1 International scientific teams could not …show more content…
The P-value is 0.885.
To check the expected frequency condition, we see that all expected frequencies greater than 5.
Decision: Let the level of significance,α, be 0.05. Then 0.885> 0.05. Therefore, I fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: There is no association between gender and outcomes among Ebola positive patients.
Discussion/Conclusion:
At kenema Government Hospital, the research infrastructure wsw already in place to alow for data collection at the beginning of the EVD(Ebola vurus disease) outbreak I Sierra Leone. In this retrospective analysis of the demographics and clinical characteristics of Ebola positive patients were associated with a fatal outcome. A two-sample t test was performed to examine the association between the adult patient death and heart rate of Ebola positive patients. The association between these variables was not significant t = 1.3265, P = 0.1887. A pairwise correlation test was done to see the association between body temperature and heart rate of Ebola positive patients and the test shows that there is no association between these two variables r = 0.0625, P=0.5797. To find an association between gender and outcomes a chi-square test of independence was performed. The association between these two variables was not significant, x^2(1, N=77) = 0.0209, P = 0.885. There was no significant differences among Ebola positive patients with respect to heart rate, body temperature, gender and outcomes of
