a: Multivariate regression for magnitude of difference between TTE and TEE
measurements of retro-aortic rim

Factor Beta 95% CI p
Age (years) −0.02 −0.09 to 0.09 0.68
Defect size (mm) in subcostal frontal* 0.0 −0.09 to 0.09 0.99
Height (per 10 cm) 0.13 −0.13 to 0.38 0.33
Male sex −0.09 −0.71 to 0.52 0.76
Weight (per 5 kg) −0.7 −0.25 to 0.10 0.41
White race versus non-White 0.47 −0.18 to 1.12 0.15
b: Multivariate regression for magnitude of absolute difference between TTE and
TEE measurements of retro-aortic rim

Factor Beta 95% CI p
Age (years) 0.02 −0.04 to 0.08 0.48
Defect size (mm) in subcostal frontal* 0.03 −0.04 to 0.09 0.41
Height (per 10 cm) 0.10 −0.28 to 0.10 0.37
Male sex 0.19 −0.27 to 0.66 0.41
Weight (per 5 kg) 0.07 −0.11 to 0.16 0.48
White race versus non-White race 0.04 −0.45 to 0.53 0.86

This is collinear with defect size measured in subcostal sagittal. Replacement with measurement from subcostal sagittal view was performed and there was no change (data not shown).
