Independent Mortality Predictors for Tertiary Clinical‐Referral Cohort (<45‐Year‐Olds Only) by Sex
| Variable | Men (n=698) | Women (n=312) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risk Ratio (95% CI) | P Value | Risk Ratio (95% CI) | P Value | |
| Charlson indexa | 1.39 (1.20‐1.59) | <0.0001 | 1.44 (1.20‐1.67) | 0.0004 |
| EF ≥50% | 0.27 (0.11‐0.80) | 0.02 | — | — |
| AR ≥moderate | — | — | 3.84 (1.26‐10.8) | 0.01 |
AR indicates aortic regurgitation; EF, left ventricular ejection fraction.
