Health utility model

Coef p value
Health state (ref. A&S):
 HF − 0.051 0.294
 MACE 0.036 0.130
 RF − 0.085 0.161
Control variables
Age (ref. < 50)
 50–75 − 0.0003 0.996
 > 75 − 0.079 0.208
Male 0.041 0.242
Diabetes − 0.036 0.264
BMI (ref. normal or underweight)
 Overweight − 0.013 0.663
 Obese − 0.0004 0.991
CVD history − 0.057 0.052
Risk factor 0.041 0.308
Cons 0.773 0.000
N—number of patients 322
N—number of patient-follow-ups 875

The constant of the model represents a female patient, in the A&S state, younger than 50, with no diabetes, normal or underweight, no CVD history and no risk factors. The coefficient of MACE changed to 0.0104 (p value = 0.707) if only patients with urgent revascularization, MI or stroke were included
