Studies of nerve regeneration in rodents utilize at least one of three classes of outcome measures: electrophysiology, morphometry, and functional tests. The assumption that these measures are correlated was tested utilizing a data set of 16 variables. Significant correlations (Spearman's rho, P < or = 0.05) were found within variable classes; however, none were found between classes. The three commonly utilized outcome measures do not measure the same phenomenon but rather discrete aspects of nerve regeneration.
电生理学、形态学测量和功能测试。利用一个包含16个变量的数据集对这些测量指标相互关联的假设进行了检验。在变量类别内部发现了显著相关性（斯皮尔曼等级相关系数，P≤0.05）；然而，在类别之间未发现显著相关性。这三种常用的结果测量指标并非测量同一现象，而是神经再生的不同方面。
