Table 5 Comparison between the mean values obtained from the specific and non-specific scales of the surgical context and the ICC scale. Correlation study between both scales and the ability of the m-YPAS scale to predict adequate induction compliance

From: Comparison of different scales for the evaluation of anxiety and compliance with anesthetic induction in children undergoing scheduled major outpatient surgery
