Ts with doable secondary reason for myositis, including thyroid disease

Applying the Wilcoxon rank sum test, the P worth for the comparison was 0.06.

All of the individuals have been females. Fourteen sufferers (87.five ) have been African Americans and two (12.5 ) have been Caucasians with ages that ranged from 15 to 69 years. Amongst these 16 sufferers, 12 (75 ) were located to possess anti-Ro autoantibodies. The remaining 4 patients had been not tested for anti-Ro. 5 sufferers (41.7 ) with greater levels of antiRo antibodies at the beginning of their disease skilled recurrences in the myositis. Average anti-Ro was compared between patients with and devoid of recurrences to determine association between myositis recurrence and anti-Ro. A nonparametric test (Wilcoxon rank sum test) was employed to complete the comparison due the observed non-normal distribution of anti-Ro as well as the little sample sizes (5 and seven) for the two groups compared. Mean ?SD for the recurrence and nonrecurrence groups was 470.four ?347.three and 153.5 ?113.4, respectively.
