Table 2.
Odds ratios (ORs) of the lack of a correct diagnosis of pituitary lesions in a conventional MRI examination (which includes common pre- and post-contrast sequences). Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI 95%) and p-values. The table includes tree pituitary dimensions (antero-posterior [AP], cranio-caudal [CC], transverse [TR]) and gland volume [V], where AP is statistically significant (p < 0.05), CC and V are on the border of statistical significance (p < 0.1), and TR is statistically insignificant.
| Risk Factor | OR | CI 95% | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP [mm] | 2.23 | (1.35, 3.71) | 0.002 |
| CC [mm] | 1.40 | (0.97, 2.00) | 0.071 |
| V [mm3] | 1.005 | (0.999, 1.011) | 0.055 |
| TR [mm] | 0.93 | (0.64, 1.34) | 0.679 |
