Trabecular metrics (median, [min, max]) in regions with and without bone marrow lesions (BMLs) using Kruskal-Wallis tests
Relative BML size | Log Apparent Bone Volume Fraction | Log Apparent Trabecular Number (mm−1) | Log Apparent Trabecular Thickness (mm) | Log Apparent Trabecular Spacing (mm) |
---|---|---|---|---|
none (n=124) | −2.20 [−4.42, −0.62] | −0.17 [−2.17, 0.63] | −2.05 [−2.30, −1.26] | 0.09 [−1.40, 2.22] |
small (n=24) | −1.96 [−2.92, −0.90]* | 0.03 [−0.81, 0.61]* | −1.96 [−2.13, −.52]* | −0.15 [−1.13, 1.10] * |
large (n=10) | −1.46 [−2.23, −1.05]* | 0.30 [−0.20, 0.61]* | −1.84 [−2.09, −1.50]* | −0.28 [−1.04, 0.30] * |
Overall model p-value | p < 0.01 | p < 0.01 | p = 0.02 | p < 0.01 |
p-value of <0.05 for a pair-wise comparison with “none” as the referent group.
