Hemolysis (Mild to moderate hemolysis may cause false increases in direct bilirubin and AST measurement. Marked hemolysis can adversely affect all chemistry tests.)

Overall Model Test - X2 = 9.04, df 3, p = .03

Binary logistic regression to predict hemolysis. Wald X2 statistic

X2 = 0.11, df 1, p = .74 X2 = 0.0, df 1, p = .99 X2 = 0.0, df 1, p = 1.0

**HP group(s) was significantly (p < .05) different from Control Group
