Table 3.
Association between the biochemical parameters and the psychological or clinical data. Original rankings data were stratified by the respective medians to Hi (>median)) and Low (<= median) subgroups. For these transformed categorical data with a 2 × 2 design the Fisher exact test was applied, and the respective effects are described as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Time-related data was used as a third, blocking factor in the Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel tests (CMH). Statistical significance for p < 0.05 is indicated with the * asterisk symbol.
