Table 3. Comparison of Serum Total Bilirubin and Indirect Bilirubin Among PD Patients According to PD Disease Severity and Controls.
Total cases | Total bilirubin (µmol/L) | P value | Indirect bilirubin (µmol/L) | P value | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control | 135 | 6.07 (5.67 - 6.51) | 2.78 (2.50 - 3.09) | ||
PD disease severity (based on H&Y stage) | |||||
Mild (1 - 2) | 36 | 7.65 (6.71 - 8.72) | 0.025 | 4.28 (3.68 - 4.97) | 0.001 |
Moderate (2.5 - 3) | 11 | 8.72 (6.89 - 11.04) | 0.018 | 4.93 (3.79 - 6.42) | 0.004 |
Severe (4 - 5) | 14 | 5.56 (4.46 - 6.94) | 0.328 | 2.96 (2.20 - 4.00) | 0.717 |
Data are expressed as geometric mean (95% CI). All comparison were compared with control. The analysis was controlled by age and co-morbidities.
