The effect of treatment on CFR score was evaluated by a 2-sided permutation test.30 CFR scores correspond to the following: 0 indicates complete reduction of flow without spontaneous reversal; 1, reduction of flow with spontaneous reversal; 2, change in rate of flow reduction with spontaneous reversal; and 3, cessation of CFRs.
