Table 2.
The comparison of MN frequency and NDI between Gensini score based groups
| Variables | Group 1 (Gensini 0-22) (22) | Group 2 (Gensini ≥23) (26) | Controls (15) | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MN frequency | 4.27 (1.7,24.4) | 5.68 (1.7,10) | 0.83 (0.7,0.9) | 0.001a |
| NDI | 1.43 (1.1,1.8) | 1.41 (1.3,1.8) | 1.54 (1.52,1.57) | 0.002b |
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to verify the normality of the distribution of continuous variables. Statistical analysis of clinical data between three groups, one-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis tests was used to evaluate comparisons. Post-hoc analysis was carried out by Bonferroni correction test. MN-micronucleus; NDI-nuclear division index
a
Controls and Group 1, P=0.001; Controls and Group 2, P=0.001; Group 1 and Group 2, P=0.001.
b
Controls and Group 1, P=0.003; Controls and Group 2, P=0.001; Group 1 and Group 2, P=0.063
