Table 3 Comparison of serum blood parameters across scoliosis groups.
| Serum blood parameters | COBB angle degree | p | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <10 (n=96) | 10–20 (n=72) | 21–35 (n=16) | ||
| 25-OH-D3 (ng/mL) | 16.7 (7.5–22.7)a | 10.9 (7.0–17.7)a | 15.9 (7.4–21.7) | |
| CA(mg/dL) | 9.5 (9.2–9.7) | 9.5 (9.4–10) | 9.8 (9.2–10) | 0.089 |
| P(mg/dL) | 4.3 (3.6–5) | 4.1 (3.7–4.5) | 4.3 (4–4.5) | 0.123 |
| ALP(IU/L) | 194.5 (108.5–269.3)ab | 125.5 (95.0–176.0)ac | 90.0 (76.3–100.8)bc | |
| PTH(pg/mL) | 41.5 (36.4–77.9) | 63.7 (37.5–93)a | 38.5 (34.7–65.3)a | |
| Values are expressed as median (25–75 percentile). p-values are calculated using Kruskal Wallis test a,b,c Same superscript letters indicate statistically significant difference between the two groups based on the post-hoc Dunn’s test. Bold p-values indicate statistical significance at α=0.05. CA – calcium; P – phosphorus, 25-OH-D3 – 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ALP – alkaline phosphatise; PTH – parathyroid hormone. | ||||
