Table 2.
Comparison of hierarchical cluster groups of cytokine concentrations in RSV and non-RSV induced AOM
Group | Non-RSV AOM* (N = 129) |
RSV AOM** (N = 16) |
---|---|---|
1 | 2 (1.6%) | 2 (12.5%) |
2 | 66 (51.2%) | 3 (18.8%) |
3 | 2 (1.6%) | 0 (0%) |
4 | 59 (45.7%) | 11 (68.8%) |
The groupings are based on the cluster pattern identified in Figure 1;
Figures in parenthesis indicate percent of the column total;
Non-RSV group included 49 cases of other viruses, and 80 cases with no virus identified;
RSV versus Non-RSV groups, p = 0.011 (Chi square analysis)
