Risk assessment in patients with functional class II pulmonary arterial hypertension: Comparison of physician gestalt with ESC/ERS and the REVEAL 2.0 risk score
Fig 2
Factors associated with risk assessment incongruency.
(A) Frequency of echocardiographic monitoring was associated with incongruency such that patients with echocardiography every 3 months were less likely to have incongruency of risk assessment than those with echocardiography every 7 to 12 months (p = 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in incongruency between patients with echocardiography every 3 months compared to those with echocardiography every 4 to 6 months (p = 0.069). (B) The physician-reported activity level was associated with incongruency such that patients with physician-reported high activity levels had more incongruencies than those with physician-reported low activity levels (p = 0.047).
