AUC Values of Models With/Without PEROX Risk Scores for Adverse Cardiac Events at the 1-Year Follow-Up Stratified According to Primary Versus Secondary Prevention Status

Primary Prevention (n=1859) Secondary Prevention (n=5510)
Death events, n 40 256
 Without PEROX 69 70
 With PEROX 81 80
P 0.009 <0.001
MI events, n 23 169
 Without PEROX 58 62
 With PEROX 71 68
P 0.072 0.007
Death/MI events, n 63 416
 Without PEROX 64 65
 With PEROX 78 75
P <0.001 <0.001

ROC curves and AUCs were calculated for 1-year death, MI, and combined death or MI end points. ROC curves for the models with/without PEROX were constructed, and the corresponding AUC values were compared. One-year predicted probabilities of an adverse cardiac event were estimated from the Cox model. P values shown represent a comparison of AUC values estimated from models with and without PEROX risk score among primary prevention or secondary prevention subjects within the whole cohort (n=7369). Both models were adjusted for traditional risk factors including age, gender, smoking, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and history of diabetes mellitus.
