Table 6.
Tyrosine (Tyr) comparisons by diagnosis, adjusting for post-conceptional age (PCA) and postmortem interval (PMI).
| TYR | ||
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted Mean (Standard Error) | P-value of Pair-wise Comparisons between Groups of Interest1 | |
| SIDS cases | 224.0 (11.2) | SIDS vs. AC (0.902) SIDS vs. CC (1.000) SIDS vs. AA (0.997) SIDS vs. RSIDS (1.000) SIDS vs. UND (0.943) AC vs. CC (1.000) AC vs. AA (0.859) |
| Acute Controls (AC) | 254.2 (26.8) | |
| Chronic Controls (CC) | 248.0 (81.7) | |
| Acute Asphyxia (AA) | 208.6 (29.1) | |
| Resuscitated SIDS (RSIDS) | 211.3 (36.6) | |
| Undetermined cases(UND) | 198.7 (25.4) | |
Legend: A Tukey-Kramer adjustment was used to account for the multiple comparisons. The p-values are presented in the brackets. There was no difference in Tyr levels between SIDS and non-SIDS (AC, CC, and AA groups combined) (p-value=0.966). Abbreviation: vs., versus.
