Table 3 Comparison between groups as regards DTF

From: Impact of pressure-targeted modes of ventilation on diaphragmatic function as assessed using ultrasonography in critically ill patients with cerebral insult: a randomized clinical trial

DTF (%)	Group A (n = 15)	Group S (n = 15)	Group B (n = 15)	Group P (n = 15)	p-value
T1	25.4 (2.9)	22.8 (3)	24.59 (3)	23 (2.6)	0.051
T2	24.8 (3.1)^a	22.3 (3.1)^a	24.01 (3.2)^a	22.5 (2.6)^a	0.068
T3	24 (3)^a,b	21.7 (3)^a,b	23.5 (3.2)^a,b	22.1 (2.6)^a,b	0.059
P-value	< 0.001	< 0.001	< 0.001	< 0.001

Data expressed as mean (SD). T1, 1st day, T2 2nd day, T3 3rd day
