Table 4.
Predictive values of interleg difference in SBP of ≥15 mmHg or DBP of ≥10 mmHg, ABI <0.9, and brachial-ankle PWV in relation to overall and cardiovascular mortality
| Parameters | Overall Mortality | Cardiovascular Mortality | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Difference in Likelihood Ratio | P | Difference in Likelihood Ratio | P | |
| Interleg BP difference | 11.70 | <0.01 | 10.68 | <0.01 |
| ABI <0.9 | 4.67 | 0.03 | 8.30 | <0.01 |
| Brachial-ankle PWV | 0.87 | 0.65 | 0.24 | 0.62 |
P value was based on the incremental value compared with the previous model, which was adjusted for age, sex, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure, albumin, log triglyceride, total cholesterol, hemoglobin, creatinine, phosphorous, calcium-phosphorous product, and log high-sensitivity CRP. SBP, systolic BP; DBP, diastolic BP; ABI, ankle-brachial index; PWV, pulse wave velocity; CRP, C-reactive protein.
