Notes: The test result variable(s), MPA diameter, RPA diameter, LPA diameter, and MPA/DAo, have at least one tie between the positive actual state and the negative actual state groups. Statistics may be biased.

a

Under the nonparametric assumption.

b

Null hypothesis: true area =0.5.

Abbreviations: MPA, main pulmonary artery; RPA, right pulmonary artery; LPA, left pulmonary artery; AAo, ascending aorta; DAo, descending aorta; sig, significance.
