High or Very high 16.3 (6.6, 40.4) <0.001 13.0 (4.9, 34.2) <0.001

All results are expressed as hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) or frequency (percentage).

For this secondary outcome, parameters with univariable P<0.2 underwent stepwise forward selection. The final model includes prior heart failure and “high or very high” HFA-ICOS risk. Other parameters are no longer significant in the multivariable model.

HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence intervals; MUGA, multi-gated acquisition; ACE, angiotensin converting enzyme; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2; CTRCD, cancer therapy related cardiac dysfunction; HFA-ICOS, European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Association - International Cardio-Oncology Society.
