Table 4.

Adjusted hazard ratios (HRadj) and 95% confidence limits of the effect of pravastatin versus usual care on study outcomes, according to II, ID, and DD genotype strata. In addition, the adjusted interaction hazard ratios 1 (IHRadj) of the II versus the DD genotype and the ID versus DD genotype are given. The interaction hazard ratio estimates for a given outcome were obtained from respective Cox proportional hazards models incorporating treatment, genotype (II/DD and ID/DD), treatment by genotype interactions, and seven baseline covariates.

Adjusted for differences in sex (male/female), race (black/white), and five baseline variables: current smoking status (yes/no), history of diabetes (yes/no), history of CHD (yes/no), systolic blood pressure level (mm Hg), age (years).

1

The interaction hazard ratio is a ratio of ratios: Prav/UC for II stratum over Prav/UC for DD stratum, and similarly for ID versus DD.

Test of null hypothesis: IHRadj = 1.0.
