Note:—CI indicates confidence interval.

^aVariables that were statistically significant in single Cox proportional hazards models were used in the multiple Cox proportional hazards models. The cutoff point of the P value was set at <.05.

^bAll 6 patients with diabetes were excluded from this analysis because their aneurysms were unchanged.
