Comparison of multivariate Cox-regression models including LGE, LVEDV/BSA and LAS
| Comparison of multivariate Cox-regression models; n = 146 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | Model 2 | Chi2 difference | p |
| LVEDV/BSA | LVEDV/BSA (ml/m2) + LGE present | 4.26 | <0.05 |
| LVEDV/BSA (ml/m2) + LGE present | LVEDV/BSA (ml/m2) + LGE present + LAS (%) | 9.33 | <0.005 |
Cox regression analysis revealed a significant increase in the predictive power when adding LAS to a model including LGE and LVEDV/BSA (significant p-values in bold letters)
