Detecting response shift in health-related quality of life measurement among patients with hypertension using structural equation modeling

Table 5 Significance tests of RS, and the effect-sizes of observed change, RS, and adjusted change

Scale	RS	Significance test		Effect-sizes ^a
Scale	RS	\({\upchi}_{\mathrm{SBdiff}}^{2}\)(df = 1)	Prob	Observed change	RS	Adjusted change
PF				0.21		0.21
RP	Non-unif. recalibration	8.84	0.003	0.19	0.00	0.19
BP	Non-unif. recalibration	17.41	< 0.001	0.16	0.00	0.16
RE				0.12		0.13
GH				-0.13		-0.13
SF	Uniform recalibration	22.98	< 0.001	0.25	0.35	-0.10
VT				-0.12		-0.11
MH				-0.10		-0.10

^a Effect-sizes were calculated as corresponding parameters difference in model 4 divided by the estimated standard deviation;
Values of 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 indicate “small”, “medium”, and “large” effect-sizes. Values less than 0.2 are considered “negligible”;
Bonferroni-adjusted critical value = 0.006
