a

The following formulas were used: QTc interval = QT interval/√RR interval; JTc interval = JT interval/√RR interval.

b

Exact 95% CI is −0.02900 to −0.00089 and does not contain 0. The 95% CI in the table appears to contain 0 due to rounding.

c

Exact 95% CI is −0.155 to −0.033 and does not contain 0.

d

Exact 95% CI is −0.285 to −0.021 and does not contain 0.

e

Exact 95% CI is 0.0050 to 1.7289 and does not contain 0. The 95% CI in the table appears to contain 0 due to rounding.

f

Exact 95% CI is 0.0431 to 0.2040 and does not contain 0.
