Spss statistics for macintosh version 21

Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Macintosh, Version 21.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). The assumption of normality was met, and parametric statistical methods were used exclusively. The assumption of sphericity was examined using Mauchly test and, ultimately, Greenhouse-Geisser corrections were made for violation of this assumption. A 1-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to look for differences in the diaphragm thickening fraction with body position as the only factor. Planned comparisons of supine versus sitting, supine versus standing, and sitting versus standing were conducted using a t test with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Statistical significance, for all tests, was set at P < .05 with 2-tailed distributions.
For intrarater reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficient (3, 3) were calculated from the 3 measurements of diaphragm muscle thickness at both peak-inspiration and end-expiration, in each test position. The time interval between the capture of these 3 images was 30 seconds, and the conditions of image capture remained entirely unchanged during this sequence.

Demographic and descriptive data were expressed as absolute and relative frequencies for categorical variables, and as medians and interquartile range (IQR) for non-normally distributed quantitative variables. The χ² test was used to compare AE incidence between phototherapy modalities or dermatoses treated; the Mann-Whitney test, to compare non-normally distributed quantitative variables; and a logistic regression model, to test significant associations from the univariable analysis. p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The magnitude of associations was measured using odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). All analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Macintosh, Version 21.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA, 2012).

Results are presented as median or mean ± standard deviation. OS was defined as the time from DIC diagnosis to any cause death within 30 days. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to estimate survival rates depending on the source of infection, and a comparison between anti-DIC therapies was made using a log rank test. To assess the outcomes of the clinical treatments, 30-day survival was examined using a Cox proportional hazards model, and improvement of DIC state was analyzed by logistic regression models. For both analyses, the variables considered are as follows: aging, JAAM DIC score, APACHE-II score, implementation of PMX-HP, intravenous immunoglobulin, AT replacement therapy, and rTM preparation. Date and time of the data used for statistical variables for the JAAM DIC and APACHE-II scores were from before beginning DIC treatments. As for additional variables for the multivariate analysis, implementation of biliary drainage in the biliary tract infection group and mechanical ventilation in the respiratory tract infection group were included in each group analysis, respectively. Hazard ratios (HRs), odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined for these variables. In all tests, P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Macintosh, Version 21.0. (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA).
