Table III. Effects of cardiac impairment, CHF and/or medications, and CHF on risk of death among group I cohort (Cox regression analysis).
Covariate | n (deaths) | Estimated β | SE | P value | RR | 95% CI |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cardiac impairment | 201 (69) | 2.137 | 0.167 | < .001 | 8.5 | 5.2, 13.9 |
CHF and/or cardiac medications | 201 (69) | 2.532 | 0.250 | < .001 | 12.6 | 7.8, 20.4 |
CHF alone* | 201 (69) | 2.682 | 0.525 | < .001 | 14.6 | 8.2, 26.0 |
Risk of death after CHF remained elevated after adjustment for disease severity with CD4 T-cell counts (adjusted relative risk [RR] = 5.7 [95% CI, 3.1-10.3, P < .001]).
