1
P value A vs B < 0.0001, A-B 95% CI: 6.62–15.26;
2
P value D vs E < 0.0001; D-E 95% CI: 6.98-13.44;
3
P values A vs D: between fasting gallbladder volume (GBV) of chronic cholecystitis and normal subjects;
4
P values B vs E: between postprandial GBV of chronic cholecystitis and normal subjects;
5
P values C vs F: between ejection fraction (EF) of chronic cholecystitis and normal subjects. SD: Standard deviation; GS: Gallstones.
