An ESR of <30 mm/h (first hour) and CRP <6 mg/l were considered the cut off values for going to the second stage.
A p-value of 0.05 was considered the cut off for statistical significance.
Considering the cut-off suggested by the manufacturer (>15 AU/ml), positive ZnT8A were found in 106/213 (49.8 %) T1D patients versus 3/110 (2.7 %) controls (Mann Whitney's t test, p < 0.0001, Fig. 1).
After multiple imputation under the MAR hypothesis, the prevalence of hDS in the present study was 31.7% (14.3% when considering the cut-off of 23 which was recommended by Fuhrer & Rouillon [ 41] to define high depressive symptoms among French women).
Finally, a secondary analysis to establish the correlation between the initial score (first reviewer) and final score (consensus) on the peer review was performed by the intraclass correlation coefficient, considering the cut-off point of 0.75 proposed by Fleiss [ 17].
Considering the cut-off value, it was observed a 4.0-fold higher chance (CI95%, 0.95 – 16.77; p = 0.12) of having cancer when the NOS3 expression levels were equal or higher than 0.8.
The number of lymph nodes harvested, those positive for metastasis, and the ratio between the number of positive and retrieved lymph nodes (categorized into two groups considering the cut-off value of 20%) were recorded.
When the survival Kaplan-Meier curve was made for GAL3, we found that, considering the cut-off of 17.8 ng/mL, those patients above this cut-off had a significant higher incidence of death and rehospitalization.
Then ({u_{n}}), possessing a subsequence, converges strongly in E. Consider the cut-off function zeta(s)=left { textstylebegin{array}{l@{quad}l} M|s|, & |s|leq R, MR, & |s|geq R, end{array}displaystyle right.
A GFI score of four or greater is considered the cut-off point for frailty [ 11].
