Table 2.
Comparison of change in medial JSW and ME between OA and non-OA study participants.
| OA (median, 95% CI) | Non OA (median, 95% CI) | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Change in Medial JSW | |||
| Obs 1 | 0.4 (0.1–0.7) mm | 0.2 (0.1–0.3) mm | p = 0.015 |
| Obs 2 | 0.5 (0.2–0.8) mm | 0.4 (0.3–0.5) mm | p = 0.020 |
| Obs 3 | 0.6 (0.4–0.8) mm | 0.3 (0.2–0.5) mm | p = 0.001 |
| Average | 0.5 mm | 0.3 mm | p = 0.008 |
| Change in ME | |||
| Obs 1 | 1.0 (0.1–1.1) mm | 0.5 (0.2–0.8) mm | p = 0.005 |
| Obs 2 | 1.3 (0.9–1.7) mm | 0.6 (0.2–1.0) mm | p = 0.010 |
| Obs 3 | 1.1 (0.6–1.6) mm | 0.6 (0.4–0.8) mm | p = 0.020 |
| Average | 1.1 mm | 0.6 mm | p = 0.001 |
JSW = joint space width; Obs = observer.
As in Table 1, a Bonferroni correction factor of 2 is considered in relation to the two outcome measure, implying statistical significance in the measured difference for p < 0.025.
