TABLE III.
The minimum, median, and maximum number of trial-pairs needed to establish a stable MOCR% series, and the percentage of subjects who achieved stable results, excluding subjects with fewer than five trial pairs of data meeting the OAE quality control criteria. Note that subjects achieving stable results may not have had an MOCR% statistically separable from the inherent variability.
