Table 5. Results of univariate meta-regression analysis for total MI.

Explanatory variable Exp(slope)* 95% Confidence interval* Proportion of variation explained Interpretation
Case mix (% MI patients) RR=1.00 0.99 to 1.02 3.5% No evidence that relative risk is associated with case mix
Dose of exercise (dose=duration in weeks × number of sessions × number of sessions per week) RR=1,00 1.00 to 1.00 0% No evidence that relative risk is associated with case mix
Type of rehabilitation (exercise only vs comprehensive rehab) RR=0.87 0.55 to 1.36 0.4% No evidence that relative risk differs between types of rehabilitation
Follow up (months) RR=0.99 0.98 to 1.01 6.3% No evidence that relative risk is associated with case mix
Publication year (pre 1995 vs post 1995) RR=1.38 0.82 to 2.33 0% No evidence that relative risk is associated with publication year
