Figure 1 CONSORT
Diagram of Patient Selection
The CONSORT diagram of the patient selection process is shown in this
figure. Thirteen individuals among the eligible uncomplicated type A
intramural hematoma patients who refused further medical treatments or
those without complete imaging records, laboratory test results and
follow-up data were regarded as missing data. In our study, 5 of 114
patients who refused further medical treatment, lacked authentic
laboratory/imaging data or were loss to follow-up were identified as
missing data regarding eligible uncomplicated Type A IMH. The
probability of these missing data did not depend on any factors that we
considered, and such data were classified as missing completely at
random; while the percentage of data missing was less than 10%,
specifically, only 5.6% (5/114). For these reasons, we used the method
of complete-case analysis in which we discarded these 13 cases with
incomplete information. In total, 109 uncomplicated type A IMH patients
with complete data were included in the study.
