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.
