Adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for cardiovascular mortality
| Variable | Model 1 | Model 2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | P Value | HR (95% CI) | P Value | |
| Age, per yr | 1.05 (0.99 to 1.11) | 0.07 | 1.03 (0.97 to 1.09) | 0.30 |
| Coronary artery disease | 4.52 (1.04 to 19.60) | 0.03 | 4.28 (1.02 to 17.88) | 0.04 |
| Log C–reactive protein, per mg/L | 1.01 (1.00 to 1.02) | 0.02 | 1.00 (0.99 to 1.02) | 0.18 |
| Supraventricular arrhythmia | 4.99 (1.21 to 20.47) | 0.01 | ||
Model 1: Cox model adjusted for age, sex, time on dialysis, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, left ventricular mass index, left ventricular ejection fraction, atrial enlargement, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, albumin, and cholesterol. Model 2: Cox model adjusted for covariates in model 1 plus supraventricular arrhythmia. HR, hazard ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
