A summary of the percent of children diagnosed with specific delays in development in comparison with the dose of organic Hg received from Thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccines administered within the first 6 months of life. The following equation explains the distribution of the data using the linear regression test: percent of children diagnosed with specific delays in development = (0.0784 × μg organic Hg) + 1.782 (p = 0.0023, 95% confidence interval of slope value = 0.0623–0.0944, r = 0.998, 95% confidence interval of r = 0.892–0.999, r2 = 0.995).
