In the sensitivity analysis, even in patients without very severe AS defined by V max or MPG criteria, the excess risk of group 3 relative to group 1 was highly significant (HR, 1.81, 95% CI, 1.21–2.71; P <0.001), whereas the excess risk of group 2 relative to group 1 was no longer significant (HR, 1.27, 95% CI, 0.95–1.70; P =0.11).
