The reference category was normal gloves.
Linear mixed models were performed with the primary and secondary outcomes as dependent variables, the type of gloves as the independent variable, adjusted for prior RCS.
A β of −0.067 means that wearing 8% silver fibre gloves gave a 0.067 lower RCS compared with normal gloves, which was a nonsignificant difference.
