Statistical analysis methods application of identifying characteristics of different forms of bronchial asthma

E-mail: ogb6@yandex.ru

Nowadays mathematical methods in medicine close up with cybernetic and information methods , that allow to obtain more accurate conclusions and recommendations, introduce new facilities and treatment modes and diagnostics. Statistical methods of data processing are widely used by medical persons, it facilitated by that fact that standard packages of application programmes ensure processing main operations of statistical data processing.

Asthma is a disease characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes. A primary treatment for asthma is reducing inflammation through medications such as prednisone, thereby increasing oxygen flow.

Bronchial asthma remains a worldwide problem. Up to 7-10 % of population in developed countries has asthma. Every 3 minutes 1 1 patient dies in the world due to asthma. Two thirds of patients with asthma doubles and reasons of this are not known.

One of the most popular statistic tasks is a task of comparing the results of  examination any indication in different conditions of measuring(i.e.  before and after  some influence) or examination control and experimental group. Moreover, often there is necessity of estimation the nature of any psychological characteristic in one or in several groups in different  time periods or to detect dynamics of this characteristic by influence of experimental effect. There are a lot of statistical methods ,which are called  criterias of differences. These criterias allow to estimate authenticity of statistical differences between different characteristics.

First of all it is necessary to select one of statistical criteria. We should to compare 2 variables from one sample: medical indexes of patients before and after treatment with the help of audio-video stimulation.

In this case T-Wilcoxon test is used. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test(T - test) is a non-parametric criteria for the case of two related samples or repeated measurements on a single sample. The test is named for Frank Wilcoxon. It allows to establish direction and intensity of changes.

Thereby, comparison of psychological and physiological  indices of bronchial asthma patients  with different types of  diagnosis before and after audio-video stimulation was realized in statistical package STATGRAPHICS, using T-Wilcoxon test.

At the  result of this work statistical criteria was chosen and realized for analyzing such experimental medical data as psychological and physiological indices bronchial asthma patients  with different types of  diagnosis.

The research was  led with help of T-Wilcoxon test. This method was realized in statistical package STATGRAPHICS.

According this research, it can be concluded that the greatest changes after the course of audio-video stimulation was noticed at patients with BAPI diagnosis. The lowest influence was exerted on patients with PD diagnosis.

 For the reason of derived results was made conclusions about the influence of audio-video stimulation on patients with different types of  bronchial asthma diagnosis: the greatest changes after the course of audio-video stimulation was noticed at patients with BAPI diagnosis. The lowest influence was exerted on patients with PD diagnosis

For realization of this mathematical method I chose such statistical package as STATGRAPHICS, that perform and explain basic and advanced statistical functions. This package have statistical advisor, which interprets derived results, defines important effects or show possible defects of  analyzing.

Thereby, comparison of psychological and physiological  indices of bronchial asthma patients.
