Change in Maximal Rate of Urea Synthesis (MRUS) Level (mg Urea N/hr/kg Body Weight) by


Question: Problem 5

Change in Maximal Rate of Urea Synthesis (MRUS) Level (mg Urea N/hr/kg Body Weight) by Group
Group Change in MRUS Values
Selective Shunt -3 20 -6 -5 -3 -3 -6 12
Nonselective Shunt I -18 -4 -18 -18 -6 -18
Nonselective Shunt II -24 -7 -15 4 -14 -8 -11

The data shown here, taken from Brogan and Kutner (1980), are the change in the maximal rate of urea synthesis (MRUS) level for cirrhotic patients who underwent either a standard operation (a nonselective shunt) or a new procedure (a selective shunt). The purpose of the operations was to improve liver function, measured by MRUS. A low value of MRUS is associated with poot liver function. Patients in the nonselective shunt group are divided into two groups based on the preoperative MRUS values (< 40 and > 40).

Perform an analysis of variance of these data at the 0.05 significance level to determine if there is a difference in the three groups. If there is a significant difference, use an appropriate multiple comparison procedure to find the source of the difference.
