On the other hand, the difference in the baseline values of diastolic blood pressure in the different groups of animals (Table 2) may be attributed to biological variability, as observed in previous studies [10, 11, 15].
The pooled effect of the mean difference in the baseline and post-treatment depressive scores was analyzed using different outcome measuring instruments (Self-rating Depression Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) separately.
There was no difference in the baseline SGRQ score in the 2 groups (p = 0.22).
There was no difference in the baseline CCQ score in the 2 groups (p = 0.81).
There was no significant statistical difference in the baseline (before interventions) knowledge score between the intervention and control groups [62.43 13.688) and 62.29 12.111) respectively; p = 0.902].
The smaller [oxy-Hb] change in adults with ASD may reflect the difference in the baseline due to hyperperfusion in the ASD group.
There was no difference in the baseline characteristics of groups including race, sex, age, comorbid conditions, biopsy proven diagnosis, and lung function.
There was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics of those who died or were alive till the end of the trial (p>0.05 for GHQ, NPI-S, NPI-D, EASI, ZBS scores).
This strict baseline eliminated any lingering effects that might have occurred before the onset of the cue, and ensured that any between-cue differences we observed were genuine, and not simply the result of a difference in the baseline period.
However, this pattern would likely result in a difference in the baseline activity levels (i.e. prior to the saccade) as a function of fixation location, an effect that we did not observe in the ROI-based FIR model (Fig. 3C).
There was no significant difference in the baseline Ca2+ concentration of coverslides exposed to either the GSM or CW exposure conditions when compared to control coverslides (F 7,145) = 1.15, p = 0.34)(Figure 4C).
