A New Measure of Decompression Sickness in the Rat

Table 5

Weight and tilt-test scores by decompression sickness status and overall.

Group		DCS=0; (𝑛=75)	DCS=1; (𝑛=26)	Overall; (𝑛=101)
Weight (grams)	𝑦, (SD)	406 (41)	411 (51)	407 (44)
Mean prescore	𝑦, (SD)	11.9 (2.0)	11.9 (2.1)	11.9 (2.0)
Mean postscore	𝑦, (SD)	12.1 (2.5)	10.4 (2.8)	11.6 (2.7)
Decrease pre-post^a	𝑦, (SD)	0.7 (1.3)	2.1 (2.2)	1.1 (1.7)

𝑦: sample mean.
SD: standard deviation.
^aIncreased grip scores were not included; therefore, the decrease is greater than the mean difference.
