Table 2 Bivariate analyses. Associations between the residual measure and demographic, co-morbidity, and biomarker variables. Pearson correlation coefficients with bootstrapped 95% CIs for continuous variables and independent samples t values for binary variables with p values before and after FDR correction are presented
