Sections stained positive for the various vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs)
| Tissue type | N | VEGFR-1 (95% CI) | VEGFR-2 (95% CI) | VEGFR-3 (95% CI) | Overall p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Percentages and 95% confidence intervals shown in the table correspond to the proportion of sections where positive staining for the various VEGF receptors was detected. The χ2 test was used to calculate the p value. | |||||
| Uterine arteries | 15 | 27% (5% to 49%) | 53% (28% to 78%) | 80% (60% to 100%) | 0.02 |
