Multivariable regression analysis to predict significant tricuspid regurgitation within the permanent pacemaker group

Variable OR 95% CI P value
Age (per 10 years) 1.50 1.06–2.13 0.02
BMI (per 5 kg/m2) 0.71 0.54–0.95 0.02
Heart rate (per 10 beats/min) 1.17 1.01–1.36 0.04
Right ventricular dilatation 5.32 2.86–9.81 <.0001
PASP ≥ 37 mmHg 2.16 1.31–3.56 0.003
MV repair or replacement 3.71 1.61–8.55 0.002
Mitral regurgitation ≥ 3+ 1.70 1.01–2.35 <.0001

OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; BMI = body mass index; PASP = pulmonary artery systolic pressure; MV = mitral valve. Male gender, hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, all hospitalizations, right ventricular dysfunction, any mitral stenosis, and E/E' ratio ≥ 13 were not retained in the model (all p > 0.05).
