Odds of QT Prolongation by Race

Race/Ethnicity Univariate Adjusted*
OR CI OR CI
Black 1.8 0.97-3.50 2.01 1.03-3.91
White 1.29 0.73-2.26 1.18 0.65-2.17
Hispanic 0.52 0.29-0.94 0.49 0.26-0.92
Asian 1.2 0.48-2.98 1.58 0.61-4.11
Other 0.98 0.97-0.99 0.98 0.97-0.99

Five models are represented, one for each race/ethnicity, with the comparison group being the absence of each race/ethnicity (e.g., comparison group for Black model is non-Black, etc.)

*

Each regression model adjusted for the following covariates: age, gender, CERT listing, and serum potassium.

Significant findings listed in BOLD.

Abbreviations: OR = odds ratio; CI = 95% confidence intervals.
