Table 4

Expected hsCRP level (mg/L) by decade of life, in 7 CDA datasets.

Dataset	10–19 yo	20–29 yo	30+ yo
K-M standard		0.66
Casewise deletion		0.84
Substitution: QL		0.65
Substitution: QL/2		0.54
Substitution: Zero		0.10
MLE		0.56
Multiple imputation	0.55	0.58	0.71

Expected level of hsCRP (mg/L) by decade of life. For datasets wherein decade of life was not statistically significant, group means were not relevant, cells were combined, and the single cell entry reflects the single overall mean. Number for the KM standard refers to estimated median level. All others refer to estimated means.
