Table 10.
Descriptive statistics for percentage changes in PCR (ΔPCR%) from baseline V1 to V2, V3, and V4 differentiated by group (PP).
| Group | Mean | SD | P25% | Median | P75% | Min | Max | Na | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ΔPCR% (V2-V1)/V1 | Control toothpaste | −30.1 | 47.2 | −56.9 | −36.4 | −3.3 | −100.0 | 176.0 | 85 |
| Test toothpaste | −22.6 | 59.1 | −58.7 | −25.0 | 1.9 | −100.0 | 200.0 | 83 | |
| ΔPCR% (V3-V1)/V1 | Control toothpaste | −32.2 | 58.2 | −77.8 | −38.9 | 0.0 | −100.0 | 205.0 | 86 |
| Test toothpaste | −25.1 | 84.8 | −72.7 | −28.9 | 0.0 | −100.0 | 575.0 | 82 | |
| ΔPCR% (V4-V1)/V1 | Control toothpaste | −7.3 | 79.4 | −60.9 | −27.3 | 20.7 | −100.0 | 314.3 | 86 |
| Test toothpaste | −13.7 | 104.6 | −69.2 | −32.5 | 7.1 | −100.0 | 650.0 | 83 | |
adoes not sum up to 171 because in single subjects (n = 2 / n = 3) PCR was 0 at V1 and > 0 at V2, V3, or V4, respectively. If PCR was 0 at V1 and 0 at V2, V3, or V4, respectively, the corresponding ΔPCR% was set to 0.
