Spss for windows 23.0.0

Statistical analysis of the study data was performed using SPSS for Windows (23.0.0; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Percentage values were derived from the frequencies of the parameters. Chi-square test was used to analyse the relationship between sex and the level of entry of the VAs into the FT. The normality of data distribution was checked using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate whether there was a correlation between VA and FT diameters. Regression analysis was employed to model the relationship between the diameters. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

The study was conducted at the Gulhane Education and Research Hospital and 44 patients who were operated for pituitary adenomas and 44 healthy individuals, 88 subjects in total, were evaluated by a questionnaire. All questionnaires and scales were applied by the same researcher without the name of the participant in order to maintain consistency. Statistical analyses were conducted with the SPSS for Windows 23.00 package program. We used the chi square test in the evaluation of the data and percent distributions were used in the comparison of qualitative variables. The means are presented with standard deviations. This study was approved by the ethics committee of our institution.
