All determined values were entered into a suitable software [Microsoft Excel (Version 2,309) 2023]. Subsequently, the extracted data were transferred to SAS software (Enterprise Guide 7.15 and SAS software 9.4) and to the GraphPad Prism analysis program to be evaluated. For the graphic representation of the won values, the program GraphPad Prism was used likewise. An intra-observer comparison was performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to identify measurement deviations of the determined three measurements per variable. Following this, the arithmetic mean was formed from these three measurements, which was used for the statistical evaluation. Thereafter, a skull index-oriented data analysis as well as a weight classified data analysis was performed to investigate a possible correlation of the respective parameter with the determined TMJ values. In addition, an evaluation of the relationship between the width and depth of the Fossa mandibularis was carried out. For this purpose, the two values were divided with each other, and the quotient determined was used for the evaluation. A gender-specific analysis was also performed.
A descriptive data analysis was conducted. The Shapiro–Wilk test was then used to test the normal distribution. A simple ANOVA was carried out to determine the significance of the data. As the data in each data set was not always normally distributed, different post-hoc tests were undertaken depending on the distribution pattern. For non-normally distributed data sets, the Kruskal-Wallis test was performed, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test. If the data was normally distributed, the Tukey multiple comparison test was used. Since the data sets were normally distributed for the evaluation of possible measurement discrepancies between the left and right temporomandibular joint of the animals, a t-test was performed. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.

This study was approved by the University of Wisconsin Institutional Review Board. Cases met all criteria for enrollment under the Mayo Clinic Expanded Access Protocol (IND # 20-003312) and gave written, informed consent for CP transfusion and data collection. Enrollment criteria are described elsewhere. (11 ) Briefly, all enrollees had laboratory confirmed COVID-19 with either severe or life-threatening disease. Severe disease was defined as the presence of subjective dyspnea, a respiratory frequency ≥ 30/min, blood oxygen saturation ≤ 93% on room air, partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio <300, and/or lung infiltrates > 50% within 24 to 48 hours. Life-threatening disease was defined as respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure at the time of transfusion.
COVID-19 convalescent plasma was collected from a local donor recruitment and referral program in collaboration with the American Red Cross. Briefly, in response to guidance from the FDA dated April 3, 2020 We convened a local working group to establish a University of Wisconsin Hospital-based COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma program for both candidate recipients and potential COVID-19 recovered donors. Stakeholders were assigned to issues within their expertise including transfusion, the University’s Office of Clinical Trials, the Media Relations, and the local American Red Cross donor center. The Transfusion Medicine section developed an inventory and ordering process for convalescent plasma units within our electronic medical record system. The Office of Clinical Trials worked closely with American Red Cross and Food and Drug Administration to ensure compliance with rapidly evolving rules. Office of Clinical Trials staff also worked with potential donors identified by University of Wisconsin clinician referral or self-referral through local media coverage and via information provided to patients in the discharge instructions after all COVID-19 related hospital admissions. Potential donors were then screened and recruited to donate via a scripted telephone interview. The local American Red Cross established a process for receiving prospective donors and worked with national leadership to develop long-term protocols.
Recipient data were abstracted from the medical record into a standardized case report form. Results were presented with descriptive statistics. Parametric and non-parametric tests were used as appropriate. All analyses were performed using commercially available statistical software (Enterprise Guide 7.1, SAS, Cary, North Carolina).
