An incidental finding was any abnormality (structural or signal-based), suspected injury or disease-process that was not already established or suspected. Incidentalomas were defined as incidental findings requiring further investigation or treatment. Marginal standardisation was used to explore relationships between prognostic factors and outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 490 out of 2138 (22.9%) scans contained 1 or more incidental anomalies and 67 (3.1%) had at least 1 incidentaloma. The risk of incidentalomas doubled (risk ratio (RR), 1.93; 95% CI, 1.01 to 3.70) when reported by a trainee and reviewed by a consultant compared to a consultant alone; increased by 12% (RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.98 to 1.28) per additional decade of life; and were less likely (RR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.12 to 0.94) when contrast was used.
