    Fat-suppressed imaging2.63 (0.89–7.81)
Model 3a
    Stenosis degree, per 10% increase2.43 (1.61–3.67)0.806 (0.725–0.887)
    Remodeling ratio, per 0.1 increase1.51 (1.11–2.06)
    Fat-suppressed imaging2.03 (0.73–5.69)
  • a The AUC of model 3 is significantly lower than those of model 1 (P = .008) and model 2 (P = .027).
