A similar analysis of the rates of ACR Pedi 30 responses did not show significant differences for either treatment (leflunomide group, 79 percent at both 16 and 48 weeks; P=1.00; methotrexate group, 91 percent at both 16 and 48 weeks; P=1.00).
qw stands for 'Quote word'. It usually used to create array. Ex. @arr = qw/one two three/; This will create an array with elements one, two and three. Instead of '/' symbol, any other symbol can be used. Ex. @arr = qw #one two three#; @arr = qw %one two three%; If using brackets as symbol, we have the option to use open and closing braces on either end. Ex. @arr = qw [one two three]; or, @arr = qw{one two three}; or, @arr = qw (one two three); Note: Each space considered as seperator for new element.
RDW is the abbreviation for red blood cell distribution width.. According to Lab Tests Online, RDW calculates the varying sizes of red blood cell (RBC) volume in a blood sample. An RDW test is usually performed as part of a CBC, or complete blood count.DW is calculated by dividing the standard deviation (SD) by the mean corpuscle volume (MCV) and then multiplying that result by 100. The standard deviation represents the volume of erythrocytes or red blood cells that are in the blood smear.
