Trial Outcomes & Findings for Impact of Preanesthetic Information and Behavioral Intervention Using Smartphone on Anxiety of Children (NCT NCT02246062)

NCT ID: NCT02246062

Last Updated: 2016-01-07

Results Overview

The level of child's anxiety will be measure by modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS). The total score of m-YPAS was calculated according to what was originally proposed by Kain et al. The total scores range from 23,4 until 100. Cut-off scores to classify patients with or without anxiety were: without anxiety (23.4 - 30), with anxiety (\< 30).
