Characteristics of the patients
| Reversible PAH (n = 28) | Irreversible PAH (n = 22) | Idiopathic PAH (n = 27) | P value reversible versus irreversible PAH | P value reversible versus Idiopathic PAH | P value irreversible versus Idiopathic PAH | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age (y) | 2 (2.7–6.5) | 8 (6.1–16.4) | 6 (4.5–8.4) | 0.01* | 0.16 | 0.06 |
| Saturation (%) | 96 (89.2–95.3) | 86 (79.8–91.3) | 97.5 (93.5–98.4) | 0.02* | 0.07 | 0.0008* |
| Mean PAP | 55 (50–66.2) | 60 (50.3–66.5) | 53 (46–56.5) | 0.13 | 0.15 | 0.95 |
Data are expressed as medians and confidence intervals (95%CI). Baseline characteristics were compared with Wilcoxon’s rank sum test for non normally distributed variables (age) and Student’s unpaired test otherwise
* P < 0.05, reversible versus irreversible PAH
