Figure 1

LCA-only vs. RCA-only odds ratio (OR) plot for each decade of age. Each point in the graph represents an OR, while the error bars correspond to its 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). An OR with 95% CI > 1.0 indicates significantly higher likelihood for LCA-only disease, whereas an OR with 95% CI < 1.0 indicates significantly higher likelihood for RCA-only disease. A. In all patients, LCA-only disease was more probable than RCA-only disease in all age groups except for subjects younger than 30 years of age where no significant difference was found. B. In men, LCA-only disease was more probable than RCA-only disease in all age groups except for subjects younger than 30 years of age where no significant difference was found. C. In women, LCA-only disease was more probable than RCA-only disease in all age groups except for subjects younger than 40 years of age where no significant difference was found. OR could not be calculated for subjects older than 80 years of age as no cases with RCA-only disease were noted in that age group.
