Cox Regression Models for Severe CVD, Stroke, MI, and CHF Comparing RYGB to Controls
| Severe Composite CVD (N=173) | Stroke (N=80) | MI (N=29) | CHF (N=79) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR [95% CI] | P Value | HR [95% CI] | P Value | HR [95% CI] | P Value | HR [95% CI] | P Value | |
| Unadjusted | 0.69 [0.50–0.94] | 0.018 | 0.77 [0.49–1.21] | 0.251 | 0.85 [0.41–1.79] | 0.675 | 0.53 [0.33–0.85] | 0.0089 |
| Adjusteda | 0.58 [0.42–0.82] | 0.0018 | 0.73 [0.45–1.17] | 0.188 | 0.89 [0.41–1.92] | 0.764 | 0.38 [0.22–0.64] | 0.0003 |
BMI indicates body mass index; BP, blood pressure; CHF, congestive heart failure; CHOL, cholesterol; CVD, cardiovascular disease; FRS, Framingham Risk Score; HDL, high‐density lipoprotein; HTN, hypertension; HR, hazard ratios; MI, myocardial infarction; RYGB, Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass.
The hazard ratios (HR) are for risk of CVD within the RYGB group (HR <1 indicates lower risk in the RYGB group).
