À propos des résultats d'une étude clinique...

Je comprends le concept des quartiles en tant que valeurs, mais la formulation anglaise est loin de la française... comment exprime-t-on correctement ceci?

Merci!

1er et 3e quartiles / 25e et 75e PERCENTILE


Explanation:
Essentially, as per DLyons, who I believe is also correct, but without repetition of quartile.

The original seems to be somewhat of a typo, however, since there is no such thing as a 25th quartile. There is a 25th and 75th PERCENTILE.

Notes to answerer
Asker: You are right, 25th quartile doesn't exist! I believe there is some confusion in the text. 3 quartiles are enough :-)
