  • Regression analysis: slope, intercept and corresponding SDs, significances (p values; ns, not significant, that is, the intercepts do not significantly deviate from 0), and 95% CIs (conflow, confhigh) as well as Pearson's regression coefficient squared (R2) and SE of estimate (SEE) are given. Slope of 1.00 results when US distances are calculated with 1510 m/s sound speed. Bland-Altmann test: limit of agreement (LOA). Reliability: intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC; 2-way random model, single scores).
