  1. SD standard deviation, CI confidence interval, MD mean difference, UL upper limit, LL lower limit
  2. Upper limit of agreement represents the mean difference + 1.96 standard deviations, lower limit of agreement represents the mean difference − 1.96 standard deviations. All numbers in parentheses indicate the 95% confidence interval
  3. SD is given for difference between CSE and SENSE. Deviations between CSE and SENSE were evaluated in 140 measurements for CSE4, 8 and 10 and 135 for CSE6. Deviations between SENSE 2 and SENSE were evaluated for 93 measurements. Absolute mean values are given for reference
