Table 6.
Effect on pain relief of fractionation with respect to kV image use.
| Median of Absolute Pain Reduction | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| kV images <90% | p | kV images ≥90% | p | |||
| All patients (fraction ≤ 5 vs >5) | 4 | 5 | 0.03 | 5.5 | 6 | 0.96 |
| All patients (fraction ≤10 vs >10) | 5 | 5 | 0.36 | 6 | 7 | 0.18 |
The bold values denote p values indicating statistical significance, i.e. p ≤ 0.05.
