Age:
- Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc analysis revealed a significant difference between age of the EOMG-group and the LOMG-group (p < 0.001; MDiff = 28.7, 95%-CI [20.6,36.8]) and the EOMG-group and the TAMG-group (p < 0.001; MDiff = 27.1, 95%-CI [18.7,36.4]) but not between the LOMG-group and the TAMG-group (p = 1.0; MDiff = 1.2, 95%-CI [-8.5,10.9])
-
Female gender:
- Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc analysis revealed a significant difference between presence of female gender in the EOMG-group and the LOMG-group (p = 0.014; MDiff = 0.33, 95%-CI [0.05,0.6])
-
BMI:
- Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc analysis revealed a significant difference between BMI in the EOMG-group and the LOMG-group (p = 0.003; MDiff = 5.33, 95%-CI [1.5,8.9])
-
Titin:
- Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc analysis revealed a significant difference of preoperative presence of Titin antibodies in EOMG-group compared to LOMG-group (p = 0.032; MDiff = 0.252, 95%-CI [0.02,0.49]) and TAMG-group (p < 0.001; MDiff = 5.02, 95%-CI [0.24,0.77]), but not between LOMG-group and TAMG-group (p = 0.105; MDiff = 0.249, 95%-CI [-0.04,0.53]
