Hazard ratios of death, MI and ischemic stroke by risk factors
| Study Measure | Death | MI | Ischemic stroke |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age at index diagnosis | 1.08† | 1.02† | 1.05† |
| Male gender | 1.28† | 1.69† | 1.32† |
| History of: | |||
| MI | 1.06** | 1.66† | 1.17* |
| Stroke | 1.60† | 1.29* | 3.11† |
| MI+stroke | 1.84† | 1.76† | 3.26† |
| Atrial fibrillation | 1.17** | -- | 1.64† |
| Angina | 0.84† | 1.44† | -- |
| Heart failure | 1.89† | -- | 1.18* |
| Hypercholesterolemia | 0.77† | -- | -- |
| Hypertension | -- | 1.21** | 1.52† |
| Diabetes | 1.37† | 1.49† | -- |
| TIA | 1.04 | -- | 1.61† |
| Interaction terms | |||
| TIA × follow-up | 1.02* | -- | -- |
| MIx follow-up | -- | -- | -- |
| Stroke × follow-up | -- | -- | 0.95* |
| MI + stroke × follow-up | 0.96* | -- | 0.93* |
Final models are presented; factors that were not statistically significant were excluded since they can introduce noise and reduce precision of estimates
MI = myocardial infarction
TIA = transient ischemic attack
*p < 0.05
**p < 0.01
† p < 0.001
-- = not statistically significant
