TABLE E2.
Univariate comparison of variables with known values between patients with unknown diabetes status versus those with known diabetes status. Comparisons were done for only nonmissing variables, among patients who underwent isolated aortic valve replacement or combined aortic valve replacement and ascending aortic intervention (n = 2522)
| Variable | Missing diabetes data (n = 424) | Known diabetes status (n = 2098) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aortic Diameter (mm) | 46.7 ± 10.0 | 40.9 ± 8.3 | <.001 |
| Age (y) | 54.7 ± 13.4 | 58.0 ± 12.8 | <.001 |
| Male Sex | 337 (79.5) | 1580 (75.3) | .067 |
Values for continuous variables are presented as mean ± standard deviation, whereas values for categorical variables are presented as n (%). P value was calculated by Student t test for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical variables.
