Does it relate to p value?

Explanation:
the data were missing for 4.8% of cases. Nothing to do with the p value.

In any case, a p value can't be more than 1 or less than 0.

Thank you! That was very helpful. I know that P value has to be between 0 and 1, but I thought that perhaps there was some convention in which it was expressed as a percent, in which case it could have been translated to p=0.048. Your translation did fit the context, so thank you!
