Table 7. Results of univariate meta-regression analysis for PTCA.

Explanatory variable Exp (slope)* 95% Confidence interval* Proportion of variation explained Interpretation
Case mix (% MI patients) RR=0.99 1.00 to 1.01 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=0.99 0.39 to 2.54 0% No evidence that relative risk differs between types of rehabilitation
Follow up (months) RR=1.00 0.99 to 1.02 0% No evidence that relative risk is associated with case mix
Publication year (pre 1995 vs post 1995) RR=0.92 0.42 to 2.06 0% No evidence that relative risk is associated with publication year
