From: The relationship between leukocyte to albumin ratio and atrial fibrillation severity
Statistics | p value Two tailed | Size effects and 95% CI | Inference | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Association between LAR and severity | Pearson Chi-square + Mantel Haenszel | p = 0.000 Statistically significant | OR = 0.657 95% CI OR [0.549–0.787] | LAR and increased BNP,DD PROBNP OR HSTNI are the dependent variables in AF |
Association between Sex and Severity | Pearson Chi-square + Mantel Haenszel | p = 0.009 Statistically significant | OR = 0.14 95% CI OR [−0.032 to 0.321] | Sex and severity are the dependent variables in AF |
Association between LAR and sex | Pearson Chi-square + Mantel Haenszel | p = 0.564 Not significant | OR = 1.050 95% CI OR [0.890–1.238] | Sex and LAR are the independent variables in AF |
Comparison of LAR distribution between the severity categories | Independent sample Mann‒Whitney U test | p = 0. 000 Statistically significant | Mean rank difference | The distribution of LAR is not the same across category of severity |
Comparison of mean age according to severity | Independent sample t test | p = 0.028. Statistically significant | 95% CI Mean difference [−2.682 to −0.154] | Advanced age is a factor for severity in AF |
Comparison of mean age according to LAR clusters | Independent sample t test | p = 0.000 Statistically significant | 95% CI Mean difference [−0.55 to −0.16] | LAR levels have increased with age |
