Table 5 A. Observed frequencies (n) and overall differences (Fisher’s exact test) in incidence of visually discernable activity in in the ureters between the cohorts. Results from post hoc pairwise Z-tests corrected for multiple testing are shown as p-values per cohort. B. Logistic regression analysis assessing the relation between administration of furosemide or choice of tracer on the incidence of visually discernable activity in the ureters
