PE, parameter estimate

Parameter estimates represent the degree of change in the Summary Score associated with a one integer unit change in the laboratory testing variable.

*

Analysis limited to 389 subjects. Of those with a current pacemaker, none were being paced in a VVI mode. Missing values were not imputed for univariable analyses, and were imputed for multivariable analyses.
