Association between NIT Result and the Primary Composite Outcome by Sex and NIT Type

Event Rate No. of Events/Sample Size (%) Positive vs. Negative Unadjusted* Positive vs. Negative Adjusted

Sex/NIT Type Positive Test Negative Test Hazard Ratio (95% CI) P-value Hazard Ratio (95% CI) P-value
Interaction between test result, test type, and sex --- 0.020 --- 0.010
Women

CTA = computed tomographic angiography; NIT = noninvasive test.

*

Unadjusted models contained test result, randomized testing arm, sex, and all 2-way and 3-way interaction terms.

Adjusted for age, race, body mass index, coronary artery disease (CAD) equivalent, Framingham risk score (12), ASCVD score (13), 2011 Diamond and Forrester score (14), hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, family history of premature CAD, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, typicality of chest pain, and physician's estimation of likelihood of significant CAD.
