For the primary endpoint analyses, values are count (%). Patients with a QFR increase are those whose mean change in contrast vessel QFR across vessels is positive. The odds ratio (OR), associated 95% confidence interval (CI) and corresponding p-values were computed using a logistic model. For secondary endpoint analyses, p-values for continuous QFR at baseline are from Wilcoxon tests. For other variables, values are mean (SD) across vessels and differences in change are marginal differences with robustified 95% CIs and p-values computed using repeated mixed-effect models accounting for multiple vessels imaged per patient. Samples sizes correspond to number of patients (vessels). As per substudy design, vessels with diameter stenosis ≤25% were excluded. 3D: three-dimensional; QFR: quantitative flow ratio; SD: standard deviation
