Figure 3 Cumulative risk for intervention.
A and B: Cumulative risks of intervention in the study population (A) and stratified by initial lesion size (B). The 5-year cumulative risk of intervention is 1.0%, with a significantly higher risk observed in lesions with an initial size of ≥ 2 cm. Group-wise comparisons of cumulative risk are also shown: < 1 cm vs 1-2 cm (P = 0.002), < 1 cm vs 2-3 cm (P < 0.001), < 1 cm vs ≥ 3 cm (P < 0.001), 1-2 cm vs 2-3 cm (P < 0.001), 1-2 cm vs ≥ 3 cm (P = 0.001), and 2-3 cm vs ≥ 3 cm (P = 0.420).
