Analysis of minimal erythemal dose (MED)
Univariate analysis | ||
---|---|---|
Variable | Patients | Effect ratio* (95% CI), P value |
Treatment | ||
Placebo | 50 (50%) | 1.00 |
Drug | 50 (50%) | 0.95 (0.91–1.00), 0.068 |
MC1R status | ||
Low-risk | 50 (50%) | 1.00 |
High-risk | 50 (50%) | 1.00 (0.95–1.05), 0.941 |
Effect ratio is the ratio of post-treatment MED to pre-treatment MED.
Additional analyses of age, gender, height, weight, hair color, and eye color as covariates did not reveal any significant predictors (not shown). We did not find a significant interaction between treatment and MC1R status variables (P=0.745)
