Multivariate logistic regression analyses for the presence of AF among nondialysis patients with CKD
| Variable | Adjusted OR | 95% CI | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (yr) | 1.04 | 1.03 to 1.06 | <0.001 |
| Age ≥65 yr | 3.00 | 1.88 to 4.80 | <0.001 |
| White race | 2.06 | 1.32 to 3.21 | 0.001 |
| SBP (mmHg) | 0.98 | 0.97 to 0.99 | 0.005 |
| CHF | 1.69 | 1.11 to 2.59 | 0.015 |
| LA diameter (mm) | 1.70 | 1.26 to 2.29 | <0.001 |
| eGFR (ml/min per 1.73 m2) | 1.01 | 0.99 to 1.02 | 0.410 |
Variables from univariate logistic regression (Table 6) with P < 0.1 were included in multivariate analysis using a backward stepwise logistic regression model with a stay criterion of 0.10. P < 0.05 represents statistical significant. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
