Fig. 3
Gender differences in L+ and L+M+ patterns in r-axSpA patients with mSASSS < 10. A Female patients (n = 22) have significantly lower LM levels compared to male patients (n = 54). B Pattern profiling of male vs female patients showed significant differences. Sixty-five percent of male patients are L+LM+, and 64% of female patients are L+. The chi2 test was used to determine the significance. C Significant quantitative difference in L/LM levels on comparing L levels in L+LM+ vs L+ male patients and LM levels in L+LM+ vs LM+ male patients. D L levels in L+LM+ female patients are higher than in L+ patients (male and female). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) including Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) was used to determine the significance
