Table 2.
Regression coefficients, contributions to the CHD-score, ORs (adjusted) for the subpopulation with cardiovascular risks (n = 435).
| Variables | Regression Coefficient | Score | ORadjusted * ORadj (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age-sex categories | |||
| M < 55 yr or F < 65 yr | 0 | 0 | 1 (reference) |
| M 55-64 yr or F 65 to 74 yr | 1.99 | 2 | 7.3 (2.4 to 22.5) |
| M ≥ 65 yr or F ≥ 75 yr | 2.44 | 2 | 11.5 (4.2 to 31.5) |
| Known cardiovascular risk | |||
| None | 0 | 0 | 1 (reference) |
| 1 to 2 | 1.76 | 2 | 5.8 (1.2 to 29.0) |
| ≥3 | 1.91 | 2 | 6.7 (1.3 to 35.2) |
| Known previous history of CVD | 1.89 | 2 | 6.7 (3.2 to 13.8) |
| Duration of chest pain 1 to 60 minutes | 1.09 | 1 | 3.0 (1.4 to 6.2) |
| Area of pain described as substernal | 1.65 | 2 | 5.2 (2.5 to 10.9) |
| Precipitating with exertion | 0.75 | 1 | 2.1 (1.0 to 4.3) |
| Absence of tenderness | 1.22 | 1 | 3.4 (1.5 to 8.0) |
* Adjusted for variables shown in this table.
CHD = coronary heart disease; CVD = cardio-vascular disease; OR = odds ratio;
ORadj = adjusted odds ratio
