Age, male sex, and variables with P values of < 0.05 were entered into multivariable model.

OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; NYHA, New York Heart Association; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; RASI, renin-angiotensin system inhibitor; MRA, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; ICD, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; CRT, cardiac resynchronization therapy; Log-BNP, log-transformed B-type natriuretic peptide; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NS, not selected.

Age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, log-BNP, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, eGFR, sodium, uric acid, C-reactive protein, total cholesterol, HbA1c, and LVEF were analyzed as continuous variables.
