Additional Statistical Analysis
Metadata, Simpson, and Shannon Index results were exported to Prism
(GraphPad Prism Software, La Jolla, CA) for analysis. We tested
categorical variables using a two-sided Fisher’s exact test. We used an
independent two-sample t-test to calculate two-tailed P-value for
continuous variables. Pearson correlation was calculated to determine
relationships between measures of alpha diversity and clinical data and
biomarkers.
