Table 6.

Comparison of manual and automated IHC scores given in Tables 4 and 5

Comparison Correlation coefficient Mean difference 95% CI p value (paired t-test)
PS vs PSA (HIF) 0.94 0.13 (0.05,0.22) 0.01
PS vs PSA (VEGF) 0.89 0.02 (−0.07,0.11) 0.63
PS*IS vs AMI (HIF) 0.92 −0.05 (−0.16,0.06) 0.29
PS*IS vs AMI (VEGF) 0.93 −0.06 (−0.22,0.09) 0.38

The second column indicates the correlation coefficient computed between manual and automated scores (n=10). The third column shows the average difference between manual and automated scores. The fourth column shows the 95% confidence interval (CI) for the average difference. The last column presents the p value of a two-sample t-test for the average difference, with usual significance being less than 0.05. AMI, automated mean intensity.
