Key to this Figure: 1 – ungraded bloodstained (n = 13), 2 – bloodstained +/− to 2+ (n = 196), 3 – bloodstained 3+ to 4+ (n = 28), 4 – ungraded xanthochromia (n = 81), 5 – xanthochromia +/− to 2+ (n = 52), 6 – xanthochromia 3+ to 4+ (n = 6), 7 – ungraded turbid (n = 11), 8 – turbid +/− to 2+ (n = 148), 9 – turbid 3+ to 4+ (n = 10), 10 – clear and colourless (n = 3003); CI - confidence interval; IQR – interquartile range
