Table 6. Cox proportional-hazards models estimating time to cardiac death or MI among patients undergoing MPS (n = 1,505).

Predictor Unadjusted Adjusted for baseline risk factors* Adjusted for baseline risk factors plus post-nuclear revascularization
HR P value HR P value HR P value
Post-stress LVEF (per 5% decrease) 1.08 .082 0.98 .711 0.98 .748
% Abnormal myocardium (per 5% increase) 1.12 <.001 1.11 .004 1.12 .003
% Ischemic myocardium (per 5% increase) 1.08 .129 1.04 .468 1.06 .311

Unadjusted model estimates the independent effects of each variable.

Model 1 simultaneously adjusts for baseline patient characteristics, trial characteristics, and LVEF.

Model 2 estimates independent effects of each nuclear predictor when simultaneously adjusting for baseline patient characteristics, trial characteristics, LVEF.
