---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Symptom (Cluster) | Positive | OR | Woolf | Positive | OR | Woolf |
Any Chest Symptom | 27 | 1.7 | 0.58 | 12 | 27.5 | 0.06 |
Any Nose Symptom | 50 | 1.3 | 0.64 | 28 | 4.7 | 0.03 |
Any Eye Symptom | 43 | 1.5 | 0.48 | 25 | 3.6 | 0.13 |
Headache, Fatigue or Nausea | 70 | 1.4 | 0.55 | 41 | 3.4 | 0.06 |
Positive = number of sessions, amongst column total, in which symptoms were reported as present
OR = differential odds-ratio: the ratio between the odds-ratio post-exposure and the odds-ratio pre- exposure (each of these odds-ratio measuring odds of given symptom cluster for DE exposure relative to FA exposure, or [for “perception effect”] for perceived DE exposure relative to perceived FA exposure). Note: for calculating the odds-ratio, 0.5 was added to each cell count, in order to avoid division by zero.
Woolf = the asymptotic Chi-Squared p-value reported by the Woolf test.
