ICCs for Hct in the entire cohort (Hctall) as well as subsets of controls, DMD patients, and patients with congenital heart disease were all higher for the published model compared to the local model, though the confidence intervals suggest the differences may not be significant. There was no significant difference in ICCs between these subgroups for either model. The ICCs for ECVmid-septum and ECVmid-free wall for all three models were comparably strong, with the local model marginally better for the overall cohort. ICCs were not significantly different when calculated with or without same day Hct sub-group included
