    • ↵a Shown are the odds in the platelet testing/PED group versus those in the PED alone group. For each of the complications, the OR is for the platelet testing/PED versus the PED alone group. The analysis was adjusted for age, gender, aneurysm size, number of aneurysms treated, use of multiple PEDs, practitioner's previous experience, and center volume.
