Table 1 Statistical significance of alloy composition, surface type, protein content in immersion media, and immersion time on cpMg* and MgY* degradation; as determined by wild bootstrap. The mass change, pH, Icorr, and Ecorr were used as the parameters to represent Mg degradation. The Bonferroni correction resulted in an adjusted α significance value of 3.33 × 10−3. The p values lower than the adjusted threshold were highlighted in bold, indicating they are statistically significant.
