Provides convenient tools for visualising ordinal outcome data following conventions within stroke research literature. It currently supports the "Grotta Bar" approach pioneered by The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke rt-PA Stroke Study Group (1995)
Plotting functions for ordinal data in stroke including the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and other ordinal data
Currently supports:
A Grotta bar chart is a common data visualisation tool in stroke research, and is in essence a horizontally stacked proportional bar chart showing the distribution of ordinal outcome data (typically the modified Rankin Scale) across groups, with lines drawn connecting categories across groups.
A Probability-Probability plot visually shows all-to-all comparisons of outcomes between two groups and shows the proportion of such comparisons where the treatment group has a better outcome than the control group.
