Table 5.

Mortality rates for HBPC cases, matched controls

Deaths Mortality rate Relative risk, p-value
12 months HBPC 31 15% 1.56
p = 0.182
Control 21 10%
24 months HBPC 42 20% 1.21
Control 36 17% p = 0.531

Table 5 provides mortality rates and relative risks of HBPC participants relative to controls. HBPC participants show slightly but insignificantly greater mortality rates, likely due to unmatched criteria used to select HBPC participants
