The sentences
ER of the PPT was not found to be statistically significant within logistic regression modelling but just failed to reach significance within the bivariate model (OR 2.732; 95% CI 0.063–33.546, p = 0.06) which may suggest a level of association with KOA classification, although wide confidence intervals as a consequence of small group sample sizes must be acknowledged.
