Logistic Regression Odds Ratios of Markers in PVLs Versus Controls
| Marker | Odds Ratio [95% confidence interval] | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subplate neurons | HNE | 20.92 [2.20, 198.62] | 0.008 |
| MDA | 4.66 [0.80, 27.19] | 0.087 | |
| NT | 9.15 [1.33, 63.11] | 0.025 | |
| Cajal-Retzius cells | HNE | 12.57 [1.17, 135.2] | 0.037 |
| MDA | 7.27 [1.17, 45.11] | 0.033 | |
| NT | Infinite* | NS |
= all controls have a score of 0; 3 of 9 PVL cases have a score of 1; NS = not significant and > 0.100; p values ≥0.05 and <0.100 are included to indicate possible trends for future study; bold type = p value < 0.050. Ages of analyzed cases are 20 to 183 postconceptional weeks (see text for details).
