Article Title: Insights into endometriosis symptom trajectories and assessment of surgical intervention outcomes using longitudinal actigraphy
doi: 10.1038/s41746-025-01629-8
Figure Lengend Snippet: Boxplots of intra-person Pearson pairwise ( a , b ) and partial ( c , d ) correlations between a range of actigraphy measures (x-axis) and ( a , c ) global pain scores, or (b,d) global BFI scores. In ( c ) and ( d ), the partial correlations indicate that all the other variables presented are controlled for when computing each individual correlation, as opposed to ( a ) and ( b ) where pairwise correlations do not control for any variables. Each point represents the correlation within a specific participant’s own data, and red-dashed lines indicate where |R | =0.3. We refer to Fig. and Supplementary Data for definitions of variable names. Only participants with at least 20 non-missing value pairs were included, and smartwatch cycles in which participants received surgery for endometriosis (either as part of the surgical sub-study or otherwise) were excluded, resulting in n = 54 participants included in the figure, with a total number of days included ranging from 3,591-3,907 for subfigures ( a ) and ( b ) and 3,327 total days in subfigures ( c ) and ( d ). We refer readers to Supplementary Table where we explored linear mixed-effect models for fatigue and pain (complementing findings presented in subplots ( c ) and ( d )).
Article Snippet: Additionally, we processed the raw data using a further open-source approach with the MATLAB Actigraphy Toolbox developed in house and then implemented in R, which we have reported on in previous work .
