Table 4 Baseline Clinical Assessments in the NHS Cohort. Results of vitals, physical exam, pulmonary function test, chest wall deformity and scoliosis assessments (present/absent) based on ECG classification. Chest wall deformity and scoliosis percentages represent fraction of subgroup with chest wall deformity or scoliosis present. Subjects with conduction abnormalities were significantly less likely to have chest wall deformities (*p < 0.05)
