Results from nested Cox proportional hazards models regarding the association between exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke and 10-year ACS fatal or non-fatal events, among cardiac patients (n = 2172)
| Models for any ACS event | Hazard Ratio | 95 % CI | p |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exposed vs. non-exposed | 1.33 | 1.12, 1.60 | 0.01 |
| Exposed at workplace vs. non-exposed | 0.96 | 0.78, 1.20 | 0.69 |
| Exposed at home vs. non-exposed | 1.13 | 0.89, 1.43 | 0.30 |
| Models for fatal ACS event | |||
| Exposed vs. non-exposed | 1.27 | 1.01, 1.60 | 0.05 |
| Exposed at workplace vs. non-exposed | 0.87 | 0.66, 1.14 | 0.31 |
| Exposed at home vs. non-exposed | 1.21 | 0.99, 1.70 | 0.25 |
All models were adjusted for age, gender, BMI, smoking status, MedDietScore, physical activity, history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and family history of CVD
