Incidental findings of the MADE-PVI cohort prior to PVI. (A) Clinically relevant incidental findings prior to PVI occurred in 53 out of 71 patients (74.6%). Out of these patients, 25 patients suffered from one incidental finding, while 21 and 7 patients suffered from 2 or more clinically relevant incidental findings, respectively. Shown is the proportion / number of patients with clinically relevant incidental findings. (B) Clinically relevant incidental findings were detected significantly more frequently in patients aged older than 50 years compared to younger patients (p = 0.018). (C) Patients aged older than 50 years had a distinctly higher risk for more than one pathology of the upper gastrointestinal tract compared to younger patients (p = 0.031). Shown is the number (B) and proportion (C) of patients with clinically relevant incidental findings.
