Mendelian Randomization Analysis of Homocysteine and PCOS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) method was applied to evaluate the association between plasma Hcy levels and the risk of PCOS. A p value of <0.05 was considered a statistically significant difference [39 (link)]. For sensitive analysis, the weighted median estimator, which can yield consistent results even when half of the instrumental variables are invalid, was used [40 (link)]. The MR-Egger regression method and the MR-PRESSO method were also used to evaluate the directional pleiotropy by calculating the intercept of the association between Hcy and PCOS [41 (link)]. The MR-Steiger filtering was used to estimate potential reverse causal impact.
Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was performed for the heterogeneity test to explore the influence of specific SNPs on the association. All statistical analyses were conducted using the R Studio (version 4.0.2) and the package “MendelianRandomization.”

Bivariate correlations of participants’ characteristics with kPCr at baseline and the last visit were examined using Pearson correlation coefficients for continuous variables and t-tests for categorical variables.
We first examined cross-sectional associations at baseline to confirm previous findings using the MxP Quant 180 kit [32 (link)]. We then estimated rates of change in kPCr and each LPC per participant using simple linear regression. To examine associations of baseline LPCs and rates of change in LPCs with the rate of change in kPCr, we used multivariable linear regression. Models were adjusted for baseline age, sex, race, height, and extent of baseline PCr depletion. In sensitivity analyses, we repeated the analysis by using relative measures of LPCs which were significant in the main analyses of the absolute concentration values. The relative measure was calculated as a ratio of the individual concentration to the sum of the concentrations from all 10 LPCs.
All analyses were performed using RStudio version 4.0.2 (Boston, MA). Significance was set at two-tailed p < 0.05.

Radiographic Fusion Analysis in PLDF

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Descriptive statistics, including means with standard deviation, were used to report patient demographics, surgical characteristics, clinical outcomes, and radiographic fusion parameters. All parameters were compared based on carrier material, presence of fibers, and presence of carrier material. The continuous variables were compared with Kruskal–Wallis H-tests or one-way analysis of variance test. Dichotomous variables were compared with Pearson's Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. Bivariate analyses were conducted using bone bridging fusion, screw fusion, cobb fusion, and combined fusion. A multivariable logistic regression model was developed to measure the effect of the carrier material, the presence of fibers, and the presence of carrier material on the likelihood of achieving radiographic fusion following PLDF. Analysis of carrier material, presence of fibers, and presence of carrier material were performed independently, accounting for age, sex, BMI, CCI, smoking status, levels decompressed, and preoperative diagnosis. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. All statistical analyses were performed using R Studio version 4.0.2 (Boston, MA, USA).

All statistical analyses were conducted in Graph Pad Prism Version 9 (RRID:SCR_002798) or R studio Version 4.0.2 (RRID:SCR_001905). Data were assessed for normal distribution using a Shapiro–Wilk test. Data were considered normally distributed if the P-value was > 0.05. If the data were not normally distributed, a Kruskal–Wallis test with a Dunn's multiple comparison test (between group) was conducted for multiple groups, or a Mann–Whitney test comparing tanks between two groups. The level of significance was set to P < 0.05.

University COVID-19 Serology and Viral Testing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Demographic characteristics of survey participants were analyzed using RStudio version 4.0.2 (RStudio, PBC, Boston, MA). Viral testing results obtained throughout the semester were provided by university health systems or from WEDSS, and index values from serology analyses were provided by WSLH. Semester start and semester end serology results and viral testing data were analyzed using the ggplot2 and ggalluvial packages in RStudio. Serology status, trends from semester start to semester end, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were analyzed using GraphPad Prism v 9.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA). Welch’s unpaired T tests were used to analyze differences in seropositive students at semester start and end. Mann Whitney U tests were used to compare the number of days between positive viral test date and end of semester serology collection date. Fisher’s exact tests were used to evaluate differences in symptom reporting between symptomatic and asymptomatic students with recorded positive viral tests. p-values < 0.05 were considered significant.

Radiographic Parameter Analysis in Surgical Interventions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation were used to report radiographic parameters at the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative time points. Continuous data comparing the differences (delta [Δ]) between preoperative and intraoperative time points, intraoperative and postoperative time points, and preoperative and postoperative time points were compared using paired t-tests with 95% confidence intervals also reported. Two-sample t-tests were utilized to compare continuous data between groups, when applicable. A P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. All statistical analyses were performed using RStudio version 4.0.2 (Boston, MA, USA).

Evaluating Nutrient Profiles in Restaurants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Descriptive statistics (mean and median levels with 95% confidence intervals) were calculated by food categories and menu labelling regulatory status for serving size, calories, caloric density and nutrients of public health concern (i.e., saturated fat, sodium and sugar) per serving and per 100 g where data were available. To account for the differences between restaurant venue types, restaurants were characterized as fast-food restaurants (FFR, n = 95) if table service was not available and sit-down restaurants (SDR, n = 46) if table service was available. Quantile regression was used to calculate the estimated difference in median serving size, calories, caloric density and nutrients of public health concern per serving and per 100 g between regulated and unregulated restaurants, adjusting for restaurant type. Bonferroni corrections were used to correct the family-wise error rate and the significant difference was set at p < 0.05. Analyses were performed using R Studio, version 4.0.2 (Boston, MA, USA).

Validating Automated Visual Field Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The scores obtained for each visual field (frontal left, frontal right, lateral left and lateral right) were compared between scoring methods (Visual Field Analysis vs manual coding) using correlation tests (Pearson’s test) overall and per individual. An estimation of the number of frames needed to achieve a significant power for the correlation analysis was run prior to the study, assuming an r value of 0.9 (given the high accuracy of the tracking methodologies). According to this estimation, it would be sufficient to code only seven frames to achieve a statistically significant correlation. However, we deemed this to be insufficient to provide a reliable validation of our software. Thus, in order to provide the most precise estimation possible of the accuracy of our method, we decided to code all the frames available, greatly surpassing the minimum number required to achieve sufficient statistical power. As some videos were better tracked by DeepLabCut than others, we report the reliability of our program in relation to the tracking accuracy (measured as the percentage of frames that received identical scoring in the manual and automated scoring). The statistical tests were performed using RStudio version 4.0.2 (RStudio Team, 2020 ).

Postoperative Outcomes of Revision Surgery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard descriptive statistics were reported. Bivariable comparisons were conducted using t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous parametric and non-parametric data, respectively. Chi squared testing was performed for categorical data or Fisher's exact tests in the case of cell counts less than 5. A delta ODI score calculated by subtracting the postoperative minus the preoperative values at threemonth and one-year timepoints postoperatively. Patients were compared based on revision diagnosis for analysis of PROM outcome achievement. Patients were then grouped by whether or not PASS was attained postoperatively to assess factors associated with PASS failure. All statistical analysis was conducted using R Studio Version 4.0.2.
