Table 3. Correlations between altitude, SpO2, and NPD level were analyzed with the Pearson’s product-moment correlation (r) of the software R.
Altitude vs | r | P value | df |
---|---|---|---|
Control | |||
Basal NPD | 0.28 | 0.43 | 8 |
ENaC fraction | −0.46 | 0.18 | 8 |
CFTR fraction | 0.7 | 0.08 | 5 |
AR NPD | 0.37 | 0.37 | 6 |
HAPE | |||
Basal NPD | −0.06 | 0.83 | 12 |
ENaC fraction | −0.65 | 0.01 | 12 |
CFTR fraction | 0.74 | 0.26 | 2 |
AR NPD | 0.2 | 0.51 | 11 |
The linear regression of SpO2 and altitude is, SpO2 = 98.94−0.006 × altitude. The normal SpO2 value of healthy persons at the sea level is 98.94%. df, degree of freedom.
