Regression of the outcome variable (PH vs. no-PH) to the predictors:

ULN for each hypothesized predictor of PH, age, sex, ascending aorta diameter (AA), BSA, thoracic diameter (TD), and pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP) >15 mmHg.

Note: one logistic regression model was created for each hypothesized predictor of PAH. For example, the analysis in the first row above included the predictors: Main PA diameter ≥29, age, sex, AA, BSA, TD, and PWP >15. See table 1 for definitions of radiographic metrics.
