The peritoneal fluid MICA and MICB ratio levels among groups [DIE (n = 48), OMA (n = 31); SUP (n = 39) and controls (n = 78)] was significantly different by the Kruskal-Wallis test (P = 0.015 and P = 0.002 respectively). Post hoc test were performed using the with Dunn's Multiple Comparison Test. Peritoneal NKG2D ligands ratio values are represented on a logarithmic scale as a scatter dot plot. The medians with their interquartile ranges are reported.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
