Multivariate odds ratio estimates for sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated with severe LVSD and LVH.

	Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals
	Adjusted model with LVSD only*	Adjusted model with LVSD and LVH*
Severe LVSD	2.1 (1.3 – 3.5)	1.9 (1.1 – 3.2)
LVH	--	1.8 (1.1 – 2.9)
Age (1-year increase)	1.03 (1.01–1.05)	1.03 (1.01–1.05)
Diabetes	2.0 (1.2 – 3.3)	1.9 (1.2 – 3.1)
Creatinine (1-unit increase in log-value)	2.5 (1.5 – 3.9)	2.3 (1.4 – 3.6)
History of atrial fibrillation/flutter	2.3 (1.3 – 3.9)	2.3 (1.3 – 3.9)
Use of angiotensin receptor blockers	0.4 (0.2 – 0.8)	0.3 (0.1 – 0.8)

LVH: Left Ventricular Hypertrophy; LVSD: Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction

^*Adjusted estimates obtained from multivariate model adjusted for all covariates in table. All other variables included in Table 1 were removed from the final models because they were neither significantly associated with SCD in the multivariate models, nor confounders of the association of LVSD or LVH with SCD.
