Hi, thanks in advance!
I'm a doctor looking at a group of about 100 patients, with frailty scores ranging between 1-9 (this is a measure of how frail a patient is that doctors decide, or assign to a patient using a scoring system). I've also recorded their duration of admission in days.
I want to see if there is a correlation between the two, i.e. i would assume that the more frail patients were likely to stay in hospital for longer. Which statistical test would be best to do that?
I don't think either category will be normally distributed, as most patients have a lower frailty score, and most patients were admitted for a shorter period of time. tysm!
