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
