Table 2. Reference values of the G6PD enzymatic activity profile for the study population, Pailin, Cambodia, 2013.
Reference values | Female | Male | Adjusted male* |
Number of cases | 487 | 451 | 392 |
Mean (95% CI) UI/g Hb | 11.8 (11.4–12.2) | 11.2 (10.7–11.7) | 12.8 (12.4–13.1) |
SD | 4.4 | 5.1 | 3.3 |
Median (95% CI) UI/g Hb | 11.9 | 11.7 | 12.0 |
IQR | 9.7–14.0 | 10.2–13.4 | 10.6–13.6 |
Range | 0.5–45.9 | 0.3–42.5 | 7.4–42.5 |
* Adjusted median (100% G6PD activity): an adjusted median value is calculated for which males with severe G6PD deficiency (activity less than 10% normal) have been excluded. This is accomplished by:1. Exclusion of all males with G6PD activity equal to or less than 10% of the male median; 2. Determination of a new median G6PD activity [27].
