Cl indicates confidence interval.

*

Indicates coronary flow reserve (CFR, per -1 unit).

Indicates p value for likelihood ratio (LR) test between sequential models. First value is for comparison of multivariable Model 1 to univariate analysis of female sex.

Indicates p value for interaction. Estimated effects by level of CFR were obtained from the linear interaction of CFR and sex.

Model 1: adjusted for nonwhite race; pretest clinical score (includes age); history of percutaneous coronary intervention, hypertension, and insulin use; BMI >27 kg/nf; LVEF <50%; and LV ischemia >10%.

Model 2: adjusted for nonwhite race; pretest clinical score (includes age); history of percutaneous coronary intervention, hypertension, and insulin use; BMI >27 kg/nf; LVEF <50%; and LV ischemia >10%; coronary artery disease prognostic Index; and time-dependent revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting within 90 days of noninvasive imaging.

Model 3: adjusted for nonwhite race; pretest clinical score (includes age); history of percutaneous coronary intervention, hypertension, and insulin use; BMI >27 kg/nF; LVEF <50%; and LV ischemia >10%; coronary artery disease prognostic Index; time-dependent revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting within 90 days of noninvasive imaging; and CFR.
