Average nuclear signal counts from 5 vs 10 representative areas
| Cases | x̄5 | SD | x̄10 | SD | P value |
| Total (n=25) | 2.27 | 0.39 | 2.26 | 0.39 | 0.4524 |
| Total (n=23)* | 2.27 | 0.40 | 2.26 | 0.40 | 0.3048 |
| Diploid (n=17) | 2.03 | 0.05 | 2.04 | 0.06 | 0.2334 |
| Triploid (n=8) | 2.78 | 0.28 | 2.77 | 0.26 | 0.9453 |
x̄5=mean average nuclear signal count for 5 areas on each slide; x̄10=mean average nuclear signal count for 10 areas on each slide.
P value: statistical significance (p<0.05).
*Equivocal cases excluded.
