Clinicians should interpret aneurysm growth studies using traditional models cautiously; leaves open optimal modeling for future research.
Exponential mixed models may be optimal for large studies assessing aortic aneurysm growth rates due to better noise tolerance and resistance to temporal bias.
Abell-Hart et al. (2023) studied this question.
