Table 3:
Final model of CTA markers associated with IPHa
Carotid IPH Prediction | PR | P Value | 95% CI |
---|---|---|---|
Carotid plaque rim sign (present versus absent) | 11.9 | <.001 | 4.4–32.0 |
Maximum soft-plaque thickness (per 1-mm increase) | 1.2 | .06 | 0.99–1.40 |
Note:—PR indicates prevalence ratio.
After multivariable Poisson regression with sequential backward elimination of factors that did not meet the threshold of P < .10, the final carotid IPH model depended on the positive rim sign and maximum soft-plaque thickness.
