Clinical characteristics of patients undergoing open AAA repair in relation with LTB4 expression.

LTB4 abdominal aortic aneurysm expression levels are expressed as median [IQR]. Abbreviations: AAA: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, ACE: Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, HDL: high-density lipoprotein, LDL: low-density lipoprotein, LTB4: Leukotriene B4, SD: standard deviation. Patient characteristics have been correlated with continuous LTB4 expression aneurysm levels. P-values were calculated using Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney U test. Differences with p-value <0.05 was regarded significant marked with an asterisk (*).
