Associations are reported for the outcome, namely the incidence of surgical repair during the 24-month follow-up period vs. no evidence of surgical intervention. AAAd, abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter at baseline; HR, hazard ratio; Pr(>ChiSq), probability of obtaining a χ2 value greater than the one shown under the null hypothesis. Other abbreviations as in Tables 1,2.
