Table 2: Aneurysm characteristics and follow up outcomes by ADI Quartile
Table 2 Legend: Categorical variables are expressed as N (%) and continuous variables are expressed as median (interquartile range). Increasing ADI corresponds with increasing socioeconomic deprivation. Superscript numbers represent which quartiles were significantly different on post-hoc pairwise testing. Symptoms at surgery is defined as presence of chest/back pain, shortness of breath, or dysphagia at time of surgical repair of the aorta. Aneurysm-related and unrelated/incidental describe whether the imaging was performed specifically for aneurysm surveillance or for a separate indication.
ADI: area deprivation index, ATAA: ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm
a. proportion among patients who were not previously established (without prior appointments)
4. Statistically significant difference compared to Q4 on pair-wise testing.
