Outcome N Predictor Hazard Ratio (95% CI) P Value*

LVEDD dimension z-score at diagnosis 1.13 (1.08–1.19) < 0.001

CHF, congestive heart failure; CI, confidence interval; DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension

Where 2 p-values are shown, the first is based on cause-specific hazard function and the second is based on the cumulative incidence functions for FDCM vs. IDCM via Fine-Gray subdistribution function. For death alone and transplant alone in adjusted modeling, the p-value is based the Fine-Gray regression. For death/transplant composite, the p-value is derived from the Wald test of the log hazard ratio estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression modeling.
