The mortality difference is not yet statistically significant, Dr. Roth said, but the restricted monkeys have already developed metabolic patterns suggesting they will prove more resistant to diabetes and heart disease.
A large mortality difference was seen between RAP and stable angina pectoris.
However, the study lacked of statistical power to assess the observed mortality difference.
Fisher's test was used to analyse the mortality difference between the groups.
39/456 patients with complications received chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy at ICU, with no mortality difference.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes account for over one third of the mortality difference between African Americans and white patients.
It was interesting to note that there was no significant mortality difference between the normotensive and hypotensive patients at presentation.
This mortality difference also was unaffected by categorizing ISS score since using it as a continuous variable yielded similar results.
While no mortality difference was detected between groups in the main analysis, several subsequent analyses have suggested benefit in specific subgroups of patients.
This is probably true for infectious complications in patients randomized to enteral or parenteral nutrition, but no studies or meta-analyses demonstrate a mortality difference [6 10].
Lastly, longer hospital stays may have contributed to decrease mortality in both groups and hence resulted in the absence of mortality difference between two groups [8].
