  1. 1 Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI); odds of having colorectal adenomas No confounders were identified so final model contained only apoptosis score.
  2. 2 Q = quartile; Using the median in controls, apoptosis was divided into low (below the median; quartiles 1 and 2 combined) and high (above the median; quartiles 3 and 4 combined) categories.
