Table 4.

Change in PACs and secondary endpoints (i.e., SBP, DBP, serum glucose, serum magnesium) according to treatment group, stratified by baseline serum magnesium concentration.

Primary Outcome Baseline Serum Magnesium Concentration p-Interaction

Intervention Effect Coefficient * (95% CI) p-Value Intervention Effect Coefficient * (95% CI) p-Value
Log PAC burden 0.89 (0.51, 1.54) ** 0.67 0.91 (0.61, 1.35) ** 0.64 0.88
Serum magnesium, mEq/L 0.05 (0, 0.10) 0.04 0.12 (0.04,0.20) 0.004 0.24

CI, confidence Interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; PAC, premature atrial contractions; and SBP, systolic blood pressure. * Adjusted for age (≥65 or <65) and baseline concentration (e.g., when change in glucose is the outcome, models were adjusted for baseline glucose). ¥ Outlier removed. ** Ratio of geometric means.
