Independent Predictors of Major Events During Follow‐up in Cox Regression Analysis

Hazard Ratio P Value
Cause of death
 Any cause, age >65 years 3.1 (95% CI: 1.1‐13.4) 0.047
 Tp‐e/QT ratio ≥0.29 5.2 (95% CI: 1.9‐14.0) <0.001
 LVEF ≤0.45 2.7 (95% CI: 1.4‐6.3)
Cardiac cause of death
 Age >65 years 2.1 (95% CI: 1.1‐3.3) 0.043
 Tp‐e/QT ratio ≥0.29 7.2 (95% CI: 2.3‐22.9) <0.001
 LVEF ≤0.45 1.8 (95% CI: 1.2‐3.0) 0.005

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; Tp‐e, interval from the peak to the end of the T wave.
