Note: All values displayed as median (interquartile range) or number (%).
Abbreviations: CAC, coronary artery calcium score; PLHIV, people living with HIV; PWOH, people without HIV; SIS, segment involvement score; SSS, segment severity score.
a
Total possible segments are 18, but some segments are missing or not evaluable due to artefact. For all subsequent analyses, unevaluable segments were assumed to be normal given the low prevalence of disease overall.
