Operative morbidity and mortality rates were comparable between the groups, as were length of hospital stay and total hospital costs.
Expert raters' overall ANOVA results indicated significant differences between the groups as well, F (4, 45) = 5.22, p = .002, however assumption of equal variances were not violated.
Furthermore, the overall complication rate (regarding all severities) (20.0 versus 17.8 versus 13.3 %, p = .373) and the rate of complications requiring re-intervention (2.7 versus 3.3 versus 3.0 %, p = .773) were similar between the groups as well.
"For example, I liaise with a number of agencies including UNHRC and Doctors with Borders, communicating concerns and exchanging ideas between the groups, as well as helping to organize volunteers and assessing needs of the refugees," she says.
We observed a considerable overlap regarding CSF CXCL13 concentrations between the groups as well as a considerable overlap in confidence intervals for the predictive values.
Moreover, BIC% showed no statistical difference between the groups as well.
There were no significant clinical imbalances between the groups as well (Table 2).
Interestingly, the −35 motif differed between the groups, as well as from the E. coli consensus sequence, at the fifth nucleotide.
The differences in COMP and osteocalcin were indistinguishable between the groups, as were the differences between active and inactive OA and RA.
There was a significant difference in the distribution of educational, occupational, and income levels between the groups, as well as who smoked and/or chewed tobacco.
In general, no significant differences could be detected between the groups as well as by 2-by-2-comparisons of all groups.
