Table 1 Approach for Interpreting the Size of a Correlation Coefficient

From: Pre- and peri-operative clinical information, physiological observations and outcome measures following flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS), for the treatment of kidney stones. A single-centre observational clinical pilot-study in 51 patients

Size of Correlation

Interpretation

Positive

Negative

0.90 to 1.00

 − 0.90 to − 1.00

Very high positive (or negative) correlation

0.70 to 0.90

 − 0.70 to − 0.90

High positive (or negative) correlation

0.50 to 0.70

 − 0.50 to − 0.70

Moderate positive (or negative) correlation

0.30 to 0.50

 − 0.30 to − 0.50

Low positive (or negative) correlation

0.00 to 0.30

0.00 to − 0.30

negligible correlation
