Abbreviations:
CI Confidence interval 95%, IES Impact of Event Scale.
The analyses are performed using ANOVA (Analysis of variance) in the group of men in the study group (with fetal anomaly).
* Left out three outliers due to violation to the significant level of Levene’s test.
** Tukey Honestly Significant Difference (Tukey HSD) test: significant difference between category 4 and 1, p = 0.001; 4 and 2, P < 0.001; 4 and 3, P = 0.032.
*** Tukey HSD test: significant difference between category 4 and 1, P = 0.009; 4 and 2, P = 0.037.
† Tukey HSD test: significant difference between category 4 and 1, P = 0.016; 4 and 2, P = 0.003.
†† Two outliers removed to not violate the Levene’s test of equality of error variance.
