Statistical analysis
All statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for
the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago,
IL, USA). Independent t-test was used to test for statistical
significance of differences in the mean values between the old and
follow-up data in SCD patients. Paired t-test was used to test for any
significant differences between both sides for all vessels between.
Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to test the correlation
between TAMMV and the other vascular parameters for each vessel. A p
value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
