Hazard Ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals From Multivariable Analysis of Mortality
| Predictor | HR [95% CI] | P Value |
|---|---|---|
| Beta‐blocker dose | see Figure 3 | |
| Age | 1.045 [1.027–1.062] | <0.0001 |
| BMI* | −0.129±0.032 | 0.0001 |
| BMI2 * | 0.0017±0.0004 | <0.0001 |
| Hypertension | 2.204 [1.215–3.373] | 0.007 |
| ESRD | 3.098 [1.821–5.271] | <0.0001 |
| History of CHF | 1.826 [1.205–2.766] | 0.004 |
| Primary PCI | 0.518 [0.332–0.808] | 0.004 |
| CABG | 1.579 [1.055–2.363] | 0.03 |
| In‐hospital revascularization | 0.585 [0.380–0.902] | 0.02 |
HRs for continuous variables are associated with a 1‐unit increase in the measure. BMI indicates body mass index; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft; CHF, congestive heart failure; ESRD, end‐stage renal disease; HR, hazard ratio; and PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
*
Because HR is not constant across the range of BMI, model regression coefficient rather than HR is reported.
