Table 2.
The influence of breath test performance in relation to the mean bias of the BAC and the estimated BrAC (BrAC est )
| N | Mean bias between the BAC and the BrAC est | Standard deviation | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forced expiration | 10 | −0.15 | 0.39 | |
| Non-forced expiration | 57 | 0.05 | 0.32 | 0.09 |
| Awake | 63 | −0.03 | 0.34 | |
| Sleeping or lowered level of consciousness | 15 | 0.20 | 0.37 | 0.02 |
A p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.
