In African American subjects, the median CorCP mass score was 53.5 (mean 697), median CarCP mass score was 3 (mean 170), median AorCP mass score was 761 (mean 4,934), and median ACR was 17.5 mg/g (mean ± SD 230 ± 758).
The mean AVC mass score was 13 ± 41and the AVC volume score was 64 ± 194.
In European American subjects, the median CorCP mass score was 291 (mean 1,277), median CarCP mass score was 35.5 (mean 275), median AorCP mass score was 3,237 (mean 9,803), and median ACR was 13.4 mg/g (110 ± 531); these ethnic differences were highly significant (P = 8.2 × 10−11 to 2.39 × 10−14).
As only height, shoulder bone frame size, and the lean mass score were normally distributed, the Spearman rank correlation was used for all pairwise correlations, and medians (and corresponding interquartile ranges (IQRs)) are reported.
Statistically significant and graded increases in median vascular CP mass score were observed with increasing levels of ACR in European Americans with P values = 1.6 × 10−4, 2.7 × 10−4, and 1.0 × 10−6, respectively, for AorCP, CorCP, and CarCP using traditional ACR cut points <30, 30 299, and >300 mg/g to stratify the sample.
Because distributions of CP mass scores are highly skewed, mean scores should be interpreted cautiously and median values are more reflective of central tendency.
In African American and European American participants, respectively, median calcified plaque mass scores were 53.5 and 291 for coronary artery, 3 and 35.5 for carotid artery, and 761 and 3,237 for aorta.
The mean CAC mass and volume score were 118 ± 155 and 572 ± 720, respectively.
Suppose a complete PrSM contains one mass shift (PTM) in and its PTM mass count score is t.
For example, if a prefix PrSM contains one mass shift (PTM) in and its PTM mass count score is t, the E-value of the PrSM is estimated as C p · Z p · CSP S, t, 1).
