Crude and adjusted linear regression coefficients (beta) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were computed to estimate the associations between being labelled as an osteoarthritis case and health-related quality of life.
The χ2 distance was computed to measure agreement between the observed and the model calculated age distributions, but no formal test was carried out.
Finally, a cartoon-based metric is computed to measure likeness between target and candidate blocks.
T-contrasts were computed to observe differences between conditions.
Spearman's rank correlation (rs) was computed to investigate associations between parasite density and clinical status parameters.
Subsequently, phylogenetic trees were computed to identify relationships between sequences.
Pearson correlations were computed to identify associations between secondary outcome measures and continuous smoking outcomes.
Spearman's rank correlation was computed to assess associations between variables.
Furthermore, rate ratios were computed to compare ADs between different years.
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, r, was computed to assess relationships between variables.
