Table 2. Plasma MMP-7 in patients with IPF and healthy controls.
P-values were calculated using the unpaired, two-tailed Student t-test or Mann Whitney U test.
CONTROLS | IPF | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
n | 41 | 97 | |
Mean ± SD (ng/ml) | 6.03 ± 2.51 | 14.40 ± 6.55 | <0.001 |
Median (range) (ng/ml) | 5.12 | 12.07 | <0.001 |
95% CI for the median | 4.63 – 6.45 | 11.32 – 14.58 |
* Lower limit of detection (0.16 ng/mL).
