Pasw ver 18

PASW ver. 18 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for the analysis. p<0.05 were considered significant when comparing two groups, using the Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher's exact test. To compare three groups, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. When there was a significant difference, the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare two groups with a significant difference, defined as a p-value <0.017, using the Bonferroni adjustment.

Fisher exact test was applied to determine associations between categorical variables. The Kaplan-Meier method was used in univariate analysis of survival outcomes and the results were compared using the log-rank test. The toxicity profile was compared using Fisher exact test, and in the case of numeric variables including cumulative toxicity score, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was performed to examine statistical differences in the sum of the scores between groups (PASW ver. 18, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).

All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (PASW ver. 18, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test or the Mann-Whitney test as indicated. The correlation test was performed by the parametric Pearson's test. Results were considered significant when the p-value was <0.05.

Categorical variables were compared with the Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher exact test, as appropriate. PFS and OS were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test was used to compare the probability of survival between subgroups. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model, and hazard ratios were calculated using a 95% confidence interval. Two-sided p-values of < 0.05 were considered significant. All analyses were conducted using the PASW ver. 18.0 software package (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).

We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 16 patients with angioleiomyoma who were treated in our hospital between March 2000 and July 2012. All patients underwent simple excision of the tumor. Diagnoses were based on the results of a pathological examination of the specimens. The surgical specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain. Variables selected for the analysis were age, sex, anatomic location, size, symptoms, preoperative diagnosis, coexisting disease, and recurrence. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 18 months. Patient characteristics were analyzed using PASW ver. 18.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA), and the significance of differences was determined through nonparametric methods, namely, the Mann-Whitney U Test and the Wilcoxon W test to identify differences between patients' demographic data and the chi-squared test in order to determine whether differences between histological findings and clinical presentations were significant. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

PASW ver. 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for statistical analysis of all data. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare age, history of intraocular surgery or laser treatment, preoperative and postoperative IOP at 6 months and 12 months after surgery, the number of glaucoma medications, the CECD, the percentage of hexagonal cells, and the coefficients of variation of cell areas between the AGV implantation and trabeculectomy groups. The chi-square test was used to evaluate differences in sex, diabetes, and hypertension between the two groups. The Wilcoxon's signed-rank test was used to compare changes in the CECD, percentage of hexagonal cells, and the coefficient of variation of cell areas before and after surgery. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and the log-rank tests were used for survival analyses to assess patients whose postoperative corneal endothelial cells were reduced by 10% or less compared to preoperative levels. A univariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify variables associated with large amounts of CECD reduction. The Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to compare preoperative and postoperative CECD at 12 months in each group. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Data were analyzed by PASW ver. 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Differences in variables between the groups were compared using independent t-test, and the correlations between age and renal length were obtained using regression analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. The relationship between whole age group and renal length was assessed by power regression model. Using R² as the criterion for comparing and choosing linear and nonlinear fashion, renal length less than 1 year old were statistically analyzed using a nonlinear model described; The group of 1 year of age or older was analyzed using a linear regression model of the general form y=ax+b. Values with P<0.05 were considered statistically significant.
