From: Risk assessment in precapillary pulmonary hypertension: a comparative analysis
Age and right atrial area differentiate between PAH/CTEPH survivors and non-survivors classified as intermediate and high-risk individuals by established ERS/ESC PAH risk scores. PAH individuals at first consultation were stratified by the number of FPHR3 and FPHR4 high-risk criteria or SPAHR, COMPERA, and mRASP risk classes. Age score (0 for age ≤ 40, 1 for 40 < age ≤ 65, 2 for age > 65 years) and age/RAA score (sum of age score and 0 for RAA ≤ 18, 1 for 18 < RAA ≤ 26 and 2 for RAA > 26) was compared between PAH survivors and individuals who deceased during the observation period within each strata. For FPHR3, FPHR4, SPAHR, and COMPERA, age/RAA score values were compared, for mRASP, which already accounts for RAA, the age score was analyzed. Statistical significance for score differences between the survivors and non-survivors was determined by the Mann–Whitney U test, p values were corrected for multiple testing with the Benjamini–Hochberg method. Bars represent median age or age/RAA scores, points represent single study participants
