  • Note:—RC indicates regression coefficient.

  • a Univariate analyses between imaging features and IPH and LRNC were calculated with logistic regression analyses with odds ratios reported; imaging features and proportions of both IPH and LRNC were calculated with linear regression analyses with regression coefficients reported.

  • b Statistically significant.

  • c Odds ratio could not be calculated for ulceration and LRNC due to relatively sparse data spreads.
