Age and sex distribution of patient cohort
| Diagnosis | Sex | Total (282) | P | Age | Percentiles | P | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Female (147) | Male (135) | Median | 25th | 75th | ||||
| PHT | 19 (12.9%) | 40 (29.6%) | 59 | <.001a | 47.0 | 33.3 | 65.3 | .001b |
| CS | 36 (24.5%) | 4 (3.0%) | 40 | 50.6 | 42.3 | 61.8 | ||
| PA | 49 (33.3%) | 58 (43.0%) | 107 | 46.7 | 40.7 | 54.2 | ||
| PPGL | 43 (29.3%) | 33 (24.4%) | 76 | 54.6 | 43.2 | 65.3 |
Abbreviations: PHT, primary hypertension; CS, Cushing syndrome; PA, primary hyperaldosteronism; PPGL, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma.
a Considering CS, PA, and PPGL in the common group of EHT the different distribution remains significant (P = .009).
b Pairwise comparisons were performed with a Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. This post hoc analysis revealed statistically significant differences in median age between PHT-PPGL (P = .002) and PA-PPGL (P = .015).
