All 42 colon cancer patients (Ø age 60) received CT scans of the mediastinum, with a minimum follow-up period of 10 years between scans. Coronary calcification volume was measured and compared across the RCA, LM, LAD, RCX, AV, MV, and AO.
Statistical analysis was performed using both combined and separate generalized additive models (GAMs) to assess non-linear relationships in calcification progression. These models incorporated initial CC and initial age at the beginning of the interval as independent variables to evaluate their respective contributions to calcification progression.
