Predictors for poor outcome at hospital discharge

Variable	Univariate analysis		Multivariate logistic regression1
	OR (95%CI)	P value	OR (95%CI)	P value
Age < 2 yr	8 (2-32)	0.005
Evolution > 7 d	3 (0.9-11)	0.038
NT-proBNP > 5000 pg/mL	15 (1.5-303)	0.037
LVEF < 30%	60 (3-347)	0.006	21 (2-456)	0.027

¹Multivariate logistic regression was performed only on risk factors in univariate analyses for early and late poor outcome (age < 2 yr, evolution > 7 d, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide > 5000, left ventricular ejection fraction < 30%). Odds ratios refer to the change in odds of poor early and late outcome when the predictor variables are presents. LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval.
