- Condition The experimental condition / phenotype studied according to the Experimental Factor Ontology
- Dementia dementia,dementia (disease),Dementia
- Group 0 name Corresponds to the control (unexposed) group for case-control studies
- Control, mild, and moderate dementia
- Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
- Severe dementia
- Group 1 definition Diagnostic criteria applied to define the specific condition / phenotype represented in the case (exposed) group
- MMSE 0-9: The Mini-Mental State Examination [19] and the clock drawing test [20] were used to quantify cognitive function. We classified cognitive dysfunction according to the German S3-guideline on Dementia 2016 as MMSE 0–9: severe; MMSE 10–19: moderate; MMSE 20–26: mild; MMSE 27–30: no dementia [21].
- Antibiotics exclusion Number of days without antibiotics usage (if applicable) and other antibiotics-related criteria used to exclude participants (if any)
- 4 weeks
Lab analysis
- Sequencing type
- 16S
- 16S variable region One or more hypervariable region(s) of the bacterial 16S gene
- V1-V2
- Sequencing platform Manufacturer and experimental platform used for quantifying microbial abundance
- Illumina
Statistical Analysis
- Data transformation Data transformation applied to microbial abundance measurements prior to differential abundance testing (if any).
- relative abundances
- Statistical test
- LEfSe
- Significance threshold p-value or FDR threshold used for differential abundance testing (if any)
- 0.05
- MHT correction Have statistical tests be corrected for multiple hypothesis testing (MHT)?
- No
- Matched on Factors on which subjects have been matched on in a case-control study
- age, sex
