The same association was found if the triple seropositivity rate was calculated for the MELD inter-quartile ranges (IQR) (1st quartile: 1.7% 2nd quartile: 6.6% 3rd quartile: 14.3% 4th quartile: 20.3%, p<0.01).
The following quartile values represent each severity level according to predicted CGI-BPD scores: 1st quartile: 3.59, 2nd quartile: 4.27; 3rd quartile: 4.9; 4th quartile: 6.63.
Similarly, the severe infection rate increased in parallel to the extent of both ASCA IgG and IgA serological responses (IgA IQR titers: 1st quartile: 16.9%, 2nd quartile: 28.8%, 3rd quartile: 30.3% and 4th quartile: 36.8%; ASCA IgG: 1st quartile: 18.6%, 2nd quartile: 24.7%, 3rd quartile: 34.7% and 4th quartile: 35.2%; p = 0.003 by linear by linear association for both).
First, in the cross-sectional study the Δplasma CSF values in subjects with CD4 counts below 50 cells/μL (the first CD4 quartile of the group) were significantly larger than those of the remaining subjects with more preserved CD4 counts.
The child's birth weight <2,500 g did not show any correlation with maternal birth weight <2,500 g (Fisher 0.264; Spearman's Rho 0.048; OR 2.1 and OR lower 0.7) or with maternal stature below the lower quartile (<157 cm) (Chi 2 sig 0.323; with Spearman's Rho 0.036; OR 1.5 and OR lower 0.7).
Also, in women with no insulin resistance as identified by HOMA < 2.8 or IGFBP-3 below the upper quartile (4.6 μg/mL), metformin exhibited a trend to an increase in ki-67 compared to placebo, although the IQR range included negative values.
Any outliers present in ELISA readings were determined using Tukey's method which considers values at a distance of 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR) below Q1 (quartile one) or at 1.5 times the IQR above Q3 (quartile three).
Any outliers present in ELISA readings were determined using Tukey's method which considers values at a distance of 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR) below Q1 (quartile one) or at 1.5 times the IQR above Q3 (quartile three) to be a possible outlier.
John Tukey criteria defined outliers as values that were 1.5 times above the third quartile (Q3) or below the first quartile (Q1).
Quartiles were ordered from the most 5′ (quartile 1) to the most 3′ (quartile 4).
