Score Characteristics
Table 2 provides a description of the scores, in the total sample and by groups: poorly controlled CU [n = 45] and well controlled CU [n = 55].
The scores did not present a normal distribution (Gaussian), according to the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, at the level of 5%. Therefore, the most appropriate measures for summarizing the data were by quartiles (median, interquartile range (Q1 - Q3), minimum and maximum).
