Comprehensive assessment of severity (NPI-Q) noted no significant difference between the control group and the acupuncture group (interaction) (p = 0.75).

In the above, are "observed"or "found" better than "noted"?
Please advice.
Thank you.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, Tony M

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Although I don't think 'noted' is wrong, I think either of these options would actually be preferable when used following 'assessment'
I think 'found' is possible too, although I personally don't like 'observed' here: something might have been 'observed' by the assessor during the asessment, but the assessment in itself is unable to 'observe' anything. Imagine if the word 'observed' was replaced by its simpler synonym 'saw': "The assessment saw..." — no, we'd have to say "... was seen in the assessment" An exception to this might be the expression where we find "The 2021 financial year saw a rise in profits" — but this is an exceptional special case.

noted / observed / found

In this context, "observed", "found" and "noted" are all equally valid.

neutral Tony M : Of the three options given, I don't believe 'observed' can really be used here.

agree Elizabeth TILLY : I would go with "found", especially if that was what they were seeking to identify in the study. But "observed" and "noted" are also valid.

Noted

Noted is more preferrable followed by found and finally observed. Observed should be more used on what a scientist discovers.Noted is more preferrable to the findings of a test
Example sentence:

The Alzheimer's test noted a 4 score in the 74 year old patient

Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : The example you cite is rather different from Asker's context.

neutral Yvonne Gallagher : no, it doesn't fit this context
