a

By McNemar's test, for rinse 1 and rinse 2 for cell number-standardized samples, P = 0.81; for rinse 1 and rinse 2 for volume-standardized samples, P = 0.64; for rinse 1, cell number versus volume standardized, P = 0.18; for rinse 2, cell number versus volume standardized, P = 0.03.

b

Wilcoxon signed-rank test comparing ERV-3 in rinse 1 versus ERV-3 in rinse 2, P = 0.88 in cell number-standardized samples and P = 0.0008 in volume-standardized samples.

c

IQR reports the 25th and 75th percentiles and is a measure of data variability.

d

Unless otherwise indicated, values are numbers of samples (percent, 95% CI).
