Table III.

Adjusted risk factors for all-cause mortality by Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis in patients with type B aortic dissection who had echocardiograms within 6 weeks after presentation (n=90).

Covariate	HR [95% CI]	P
Age at diagnosis	1.02 [.99 – 1.06]	.16
Male	.81 [.34 – 1.90]	.63
Admission eGFR	1.01 [.99 – 1.02]	.44
Left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography	2.38 [1.02 – 5.56]	.04

CI = confidence interval, eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate, HR = hazard ratio.
