Relationship between initial calcification volume and yearly increase in total aortic volume

Initial calcification volume	Median initial aortic volume cm³ (IQR)	Median volume increase per year cm³ (IQR)
less than median^*	75.69 (58.36–97.20) ^†	4.71 (1.05–8.34) ^‡
greater or equal to median^*	66.37 (45.18–89.63) ^†	4.85 (0.97–10.19) ^‡

Median infrarenal aortic calcification volume= 1041.15 mm³.

^†

Initial total aortic volumes were not statistically different (p=0.35).

^‡

Increase in total aortic volume was not significantly different (p=0.68). IQR= Inter-quartile range. Statistical comparisons were made with Mann Whitney U test.
