Multivariable analysis for primary outcome
| Variable | Pval hazard ratio | Hazard ratio (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| Age at diagnosis per year increase | 0.040 (S) | 0.973 (0.949; 0.999) |
| LBBB | 0.635 (NS) | 0.804 (0.327; 1.977) |
| NYHA class I or II versus III or IV | 0.061 (NS) | 0.483 (0.226; 1.035) |
| Alcohol intake 1 unit per day or more | 0.618 (NS) | 1.224 (0.553; 2.705) |
| Body mass index (kg/m2) per unit increase | 0.012 (S) | 0.896 (0.823; 0.977) |
| Diabetes mellitus | 0.029 (S) | 2.815 (1.111; 7.131) |
| Hypertension | 0.859 (NS) | 1.070 (0.509; 2.251) |

| LVEF per % decrease | <0.001 (S) | 1.073 (1.031; 1.117) |
LBBB, left bundle branch block; LV, left ventricular ejection fraction; NS, not significant; NYHA, New York Heart Association; S, significant.
Primary endpoint was defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, implantation of a ventricular assist device, or heart transplantation. Cox proportional hazards model is presented (hazard ratio's and 95% confidence intervals).
