These comparisons showed a trend of increasing bone density between the bone density in the PEEK cohort observed at 4 and 8 weeks ( p = 0.0643). 3.2.3.

As the tissue cytokine quantification method used in this study was exploratory, post-hoc multiple comparisons were performed for significant or marginally significant ( p < 0.10) effects or interactions, using the estimated marginal means from the model and Tukey’s method of p value adjustment.
The concentration of each of the four cytokines evaluated remained unchanged from four to eight weeks in the control group, whereas significant and near-significant temporal changes were observed in the cohort treated with P-15.
