Table 1

Summary statistics for ratios of ethanol concentrations in vitreous humour (VH) and femoral venous blood (FVB) derived from 672 postmortem examinations

Calculation Mean (median) SD 2.5th/97.5th reference limits
*Empirical centiles.
†Back transformed geometric mean VH/FVB ratio.
‡Back transformed 95% reference interval for VH/FVB ratio.
Ratio (VH/FVB) 1.19 (1.18) 0.285 0.63/1.75
0.63/1.92*
Difference (log VH − log FVB) 0.063 (0.073) 0.109 0.71/1.89‡
