Johns Hopkins Medicine recognized the need to understand the potential impact of cancer on their patient’s health, particularly concerning blood pressure. Johns Hopkins Medicine hired our team of statistical consultants to conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine if there were significant differences in blood pressure levels between patients diagnosed with cancer and those without cancer. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the broader understanding of health-related factors associated with cancer diagnoses.
The foundation of this research project was a substantial dataset comprising survey responses from 10,000 patients collected over four years. This dataset provided a comprehensive platform for examining the potential differences in blood pressure levels among patients with and without cancer.
We conducted a t-test to address the research question and evaluate the hypothesis using the statistical software R. A t-test is a powerful statistical method for comparing means between two groups to investigate potential differences in blood pressure levels between patients with and without cancer.
The central hypothesis guiding the research efforts was as follows: H1 – There are significant differences in blood pressure levels between patients with and without cancer. The research rigorously tested this hypothesis, seeking to determine whether cancer diagnoses had a statistically significant effect on patients’ blood pressure levels.
The analysis yielded compelling findings that provided valuable insights into Johns Hopkins Medicine’s inquiry. The research results indicated a statistically significant difference in blood pressure levels between patients diagnosed with cancer and those without cancer. This discovery highlighted the effect of cancer diagnoses on blood pressure levels among patients.
Johns Hopkins Medicine derived valuable insights from this research endeavor. By learning that there were significant differences in blood pressure levels between patients with and without cancer, Johns Hopkins Medicine gained a deeper understanding of the potential health implications associated with cancer diagnoses. This knowledge informed Johns Hopkins Medicine’s healthcare strategies, patient care plans, and further research into cancer-related health outcomes.
