- Values are mean ± standard deviation (SD).
- a Some blastocysts were excluded due to accidental lost or poor staining.
- b As a safeguard against multiple tests of statistical significance on the same data, the Bonferroni correction was used to adjust the P-value. In this case, a P-value <0.05/4 or <0.0125 was considered to indicate a significant difference.
- One-way ANOVA with Scheffe post-hoc test when P<0.0125.
- c control vs. full-thickness group (P=0.000), and control vs. quarter-thinning group (P=0.001), and full-thickness vs. quarter thinning group (P=0.307).
- d control vs. full-thickness group (P=0.000), control vs. quarter thinning group (P=0.000), full-thickness vs. quarter-thinning group (P=0.076).
- e control vs. full-thickness group (P=0.000), control vs. quarter thinning group (P=0.000) full-thickness vs. quarter thinning group (P=0.09).
