Variables | Correlation | Coefficient standard error | P value | 95% confidence interval |
---|---|---|---|---|
Age (years) | 2.15 | 0.49 | 0.0001* | 1.33 to 2.97 |
Sex | 37.60 | 10.29 | 0.0001* | 20.45 to 54.75 |
BSA (m2) | −157.36 | 33.86 | 0.0001* | −213.80 to −100.95 |
PCE at test bolus (HU) | 1.22 | 0.18 | 0.0001* | 0.92 to 1.53 |
*, P<0.05; BSA, body surface area; PCE, peak contrast enhancement; VCE, vessel contrast enhancement.
