Distribution of responses
hyperhidrosis
Only item 18 had a single missing entry at baseline. The test for normal distribution over the subjects' sum scores was significant, indicating a left-skewed distribution with some ceiling effects. These effects can be explained as a result of the homogeneous study population, which included only patients with severe hyperhidrosis. The percentage of participants selecting the highest response option (very much) across the items ranged from 16.8 to 88.7%.
