Multivariable regression models of physical examination findings and elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP ≥ 22mmHg) using jugular venous distension and jugular venous pressure.
| Model using JVD | Model using JVP | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Odds Ratio (95% CI) | P-value | Odds Ratio (95% CI) | P-value | |
| JVD | 8.2 (3.1–22.1) | <0.0001 | N/A | N/A |
| JVP, cm H2O | N/A | N/A | 1.3 (1.2–1.5) | <0.001 |
| Orthopnea | 0.9 (0.3–3.1) | 0.88 | 0.8 (0.3–2.8) | 0.78 |
| Bendopnea | 4.6 (1.5–14.6) | 0.009 | 4.3 (1.4–13.3) | 0.01 |
| HJR | 1.1 (0.4–2.9) | 0.85 | 1.0 (0.4–2.6) | 0.93 |
| S3 | 3.7 (1.3–10.4) | 0.01 | 3.3 (1.2–8.9) | 0.02 |
HJR = hepatojugular reflux; JVD = jugular venous distension; JVP = jugular venous pressure
