Were the plates, perhaps, of cultural significance – a slightly daunting thought to her?
Therefore the test for statistical significance is slightly anti-conservative.
For heavy smokers significance was slightly missed (pBWS-Test = 0.089).
Indeed altering the threshold, so that fewer samples are called at one copy improves the significance level slightly to 0.015.
Even though statistical significance was slightly short of significance at the 5% level, pronounced differences in the magnitude of effect between the two groups were observed.
Including chronic diseases confounded the relationship mildly, lowering significance to slightly below conventional levels [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.15; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.99 1.33].
For the model of quality of ANC, we retained the variable mother's education in the final model as its significance was slightly above 0.05.
In males, retinal binding protein 4 increased 2-fold (p = 0.0159) and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and α-amylase were also up-regulated (1.9×), but the statistical significance was slightly > p = 0.05 (p = 0.0664 and p = 0.0895, respectively) (Table 3).
However, in the general bio-medical literature, significance levels slightly higher than the self-ligating brackets might receive critical importance depending on the severity of the health hazard imposed on the sample [ 32– 32].
