There were no significant differences in median values between study participants born in Iraq and Sweden before as well as after adjusting for age, sex and BMI.
We divided patients into two groups according to mean DCI calculated for each patient during the study period, low DCI when the individual mean DCI was lower than the median value for the study population and high DCI when individual mean DCI was greater than the median value.
The fall incidence rate of 1.630 per patient per year reported in a study of male veterans by Studenski et al 13 is a statistical outlier among the studies of men; the median value (range) for studies of men excluding the one by Studenski et al (three determinations) is 0.428 (0.428–0.428.
In contrast, the commercial CLSE adhesive resulted in 35.6 MPa of bond strength, which was the highest μSBS median value of the study.
Low walking speed was defined as a time above the median value of the study population.
Low walking speed was defined as obtaining a time above the median value of the study population.
Specifically, patients with BSLD ⩽7.5 cm (the median value in the study population) had a median OS more than 3 months longer than patients with BSLD >7.5 cm.
Given that only a small proportion of exposed women had dose information (36%), we repeated these analyses after assigning women with missing dose the median value of their study center.
Using the cut-off values 13 pg/ml, which is the median value in this study, we found that metastasis free survival was lower in ER-positive patients with higher than with lower estradiol level, although the difference was not statistically significant.
An alternative is to present the median value from the studies that used the most familiar measure of the concept in the control group column, and the SMD in the intervention group column.
Women were categorised as pre- or postmenopausal by using age 50 as the cut-off point, based on the approximate median value in several studies (Luoto et al, 1994; Gold et al, 2001; Rodstrom et al, 2003).
