Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the accelerated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) expansion rate. A, Areas under ROC curves for the accelerated AAA expansion rate (>5 mm/y) of the initial high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP) values, hsCRP values after 1 year, and ΔCRP (hsCRP values after 1 year–initial hsCRP values) (n=213) were 0.475, 0.506, and 0.525, respectively (P=0.581, P=0.416, and P=0.594, respectively). B, After the rehabilitation program (n=49), the areas under the ROC curves for accelerated AAA expansion rate (>5 mm/y) of systolic blood pressure (SBP) at rest, SBP at exercise with a modified anaerobic threshold (AT) level, and ΔSBP during exercise (SBP at exercise with modified AT level–SBP at rest) were 0.483, 0.683, and 0.780, respectively (P=0.855, P=0.055, and P=0.003, respectively).
