Table 4 p-values of the distribution of the result for a given pattern group among diagnostic groups

From: The clinical significance of atypical indirect immunofluorescence patterns on primate cerebellum in paraneoplastic antibody screening

Pattern group

Fisher’s exact p-valuea

Granular layer positive

0.015

Minor patterns positive

0.910

Molecular layer positive

0.019

Multiple reported patterns

  1. Fisher’s exact tests were executed on a group level to determine if a certain layer was reported significantly more often to be positive
  2. aBonferroni correction for multiple testing:  Significant if p < 0.0083
