Study inclusion

Hello!

I have several questions, so help me please if you feel like it.

1) Which version is more suitable for scientific paper:

The post mortal period for study inclusion was less than 24 hours, while cadaver(s) aged from 18-88 (mean 63,3 years).

Cadavers from this study were in post mortal period less than 24 hours, aged from 18-88 (mean 63,3 years).

2)Is "years" necessary here?

3) "cadaver" or "cadavers"?

4) Is "mean" OK in this context?

Thank you very much.

Hi Clive!

I guess "post mortal period" refers to the period from the death to the beginning of post mortem. I'll have to check that, though.
Thank you very much
