* n = 602, ** n = 617 The first ten indicators are the items of the RTS-questionnaire. The association of the indicators with the RTS-score is demonstrated using the Spearman rank correlation. The last column shows the correct classification of the indicator (four categories) compared to the RTS-score, which is categorized in four groups. | ||
