Massage therapy patients that utilize mechanical ventilation

Dr. Niki Munk’s lab has collected a vast amount of data from hundreds of patients that have received massage therapy. My project is to analyze and assess a subgroup of these patients to identify any patterns in the demographic type. Patterns can fall into the categories of age, sex, race, and if they have experienced any severe illnesses. The subgroup assigned to me are patients that all use mechanical ventilation, and I will be using Statistical Analysis System (SAS) to complete the research.
