2. Fig
In-hospital mortality and/or postoperative stroke after endovascular (A, CAS) or open (B, CEA) carotid surgery in relation to annual hospital volume of carotid repair by quintiles. Ninety-five percent confidence limits, approximation equations, and R2 value are shown. The table below shows odds ratios with corresponding 95% CL and P values of stroke or mortality by hospital annual volume in quintiles after controlling for baseline comorbidities, year of procedure, patient demographics, symptomatic presentation, and emergency of hospitalization based on multivariable regression model. CAS, Carotid artery stent; CEA, carotid endarterectomy.
