Reconstruction accuracy of pelvis and femur geometric models were evaluated using two metrics. First, the distance error between (in)complete bone segmentation (i.e. a point cloud) and the closest nodes on reconstructed bone models was calculated using the root mean square error (RMSE, mm). The RMSE is an average error which has been applied in previous studies for comparing bone reconstruction accuracy [9 (link), 16 (link), 24 (link)]. Second, the overlapping volume similarity of complete bone segmentation and reconstructed geometric bone model was calculated using the Jaccard index (%) [25 (link)]. The Jaccard index was calculated in addition to the RMSE, because it accounts for absolute differences in overlapping volume of geometric bone models. The accuracy metrics of the different bone reconstruction methods were statistically compared (p<0.05) using a repeated measure analysis of variance followed by multiple pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni adjustment in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, United States).

The survey was scored using the guidelines of Rhoda and Pickel-Voight (2015 (link)), tallying the number of correct responses in each section. Each participant’s level of knowledge was classified as follows: A score of ≥ 75% was ‘high’, 50% – 74% was ‘moderate’ and a score of ≤ 50% was ‘low’ (Rhoda & Pickel-Voight, 2015 (link)). Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25, using descriptive and inferential statistics in consultation with a statistician. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient equalled 0.707, demonstrating the reliability of the questionnaire (Goforth, 2015 ). P-values of <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Variability of responses was noted across nurses and within levels.

Fetuin-B and IVF-ET Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Data analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 25 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, USA) and R version 3.6.1 (http://www.r-project.org). Data are expressed as mean ± SD, median (Q1, Q3), or proportion (%), as appropriate. Variables with skewness less than ±1 were considered as following a normal distribution, and covariates were natural logarithmic transformed if skewed. Comparison for numeric variables between groups was performed using Student's t-test or Mann–Whitney U test. Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were used as appropriate for categorical variables. Correlations between the level of fetuin-B and other variables were quantified using Pearson and partial correlations. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyse the relationship between fetuin-B and the clinical outcomes of IVF-ET. P values < 0.05 (two-tailed) were considered statistically significant.

Analyzing Stress Adaptation and Inflammatory Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analyses were conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences-version 25. An alpha level of .05 was used and tests were two-tailed. Consistent with prior reports from this trial, for psychosocial data, outliers (>3 SD from the mean) were winsorized. Analyses used raw values for physiological data with extreme values of >3 SD from the mean removed (s100A8/A9 N=1; cortisol N=3). Associations were tested with multiple regression. Covariates were selected based on previous research indicating associations with stress adaptation (23 ) and inflammatory markers (24 (link), 25 (link)), and included age, disease stage, days since surgery, menopausal status, and race. All available data were used and analyses used listwise deletion for missing data (see Table 1 for Ns). The study variable with the largest amount of missing data was s100A8/A9 (N=122/183) as this was a post-hoc assay done with cryopreserved serum samples and could only be conducted for participants who had a sufficient amount of remaining intact sample. There were no significant differences (p>.05) in demographic or medical variables between participants with s100A8/A9 data and the full sample.

The above data were input into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, US). All p values obtained were based on two-tailed tests, with significance levels set at 0.05. In the descriptive analysis, continuous variables were described as means and standard deviation (SD), and dichotomous variables were described as numbers and corresponding percentages. Single-sample t-test and chi-squared test were used to compare differences in continuous and dichotomous variables, respectively, between the groups with different characteristics. The Pearson correlation coefficient was applied to estimate the relationships between eGFR and variables, including age, smoking status, and drinking status. Univariate and multivariate linear regression were applied to analyze the effects of different variables on eGFR.

Evaluating Suicide Intervention Service

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analyses will be conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25 [85 ] and SAS v9.4 [86 ]. Primary analyses will be conducted according to the intention-to-treat approach. Presentations to an emergency department with a repeat suicide-related event and for all-cause death will be compared between the two non-randomised groups (intervention vs control) using a Kaplan Meier plot where the initial presentation to an emergency department is designated as time zero, and using censoring. A log-rank test will compare the Kaplan Meier curves of the two groups.
A negative binomial regression model will be applied to the data to estimate the effect of the intervention on re-presentation rates, accounting for varying lengths of follow-up period and adjusting for service and person-level characteristics (e.g. facility, age, sex, indigenous status) and censoring.
To investigate the impact of the service on suicide risk factors (secondary outcome measures), a comparison of pre- and post-intervention outcome measures will be conducted for participants of the intervention using paired t-tests, or a Wilcoxon signed-ranks test (if the sample is non-normally distributed), adjusting for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni correction).

The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25 software was used for statistical analysis. The distribution characteristics of the variables were examined using the Shapiro–Wilk test. Normally distributed independent data were evaluated using the t-test, and nonparametric independent samples were evaluated using the Mann–Whitney U-test. Power values of EEG bands in EC and EO conditions were compared using the paired-samples t-test and Wilcoxon test for parametric and nonparametric evaluations, respectively. Frequency band power changes due to the transition from EC to EO conditions were evaluated using the following formula:
(for each frequency band). The percentage change of the RS of power in each frequency band was compared between the SH and control groups.

Comparative Analysis of African and European Team Performance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Data were reported as means and standard deviations. An independent-sample t-test was used to compare differences in performance indicators between African and European teams. Additionally, effect size (ES) was used to examine the magnitude of mean differences between the two groups of teams. ES values were classified as 0.01 (small effect), 0.06 (moderate effect) and 0.14 (large effect) (Cohen, 1988 ). The probability level was set at p ≤ 0.05 and all statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version25.
