Sensitivity to fraction number. For all five cohort D subjects with five fractions, all possible combinations of four fractions (five combinations), three fractions (10 combinations), and two fraction (10 combinations) were re-calculated to simulate the range of possible estimates for fructose and PSA obtained when fewer than five fractions were collected. The numbers are the range of values (minimum–maximum) for the recalculated two, three, and four fraction estimates expressed as a ratio of the original five fraction estimate for fructose and PSA. Negative values are in parentheses

Four fractions Three fractions Two fractions
Marker Lundquist Regression Lundquist Regression Both
Fructose 0.58–2.41 0.76–2.87 0.38–2.64 0.43–4.71 (12.52)−13.32
PSA 0.70–1.32 0.71–1.31 0.60–1.47 0.67–1.50 (24840.00)−2.29
