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

Data are expressed as geometric mean (95% CI). All comparison were compared with control. The analysis was controlled by age and co-morbidities.
