Table 5.

Association between ECG ischemia features and adverse clinical events (death, reinfarction, and new onset HF), return to ED, and rehospitalization reported within 30 days. (No models were fit for reinfarction because there were only 13 cases.)

ECG variable	Odds ratio for Death	p-value	Odds ratio for New Onset HF	p-value
Model 1: Adjusted ORs controlling for age, race, gender, medical history
T-wave inversion	1.39 (0.96, 2.02)	0.09	1.59 (1.31, 1.93)	<.0001
ST-Depression	1.49 (1.02, 2.18)	0.038	1.29 (1.05, 1.58)	0.01
ST-Elevation	1.13 (0.74, 1.73)	0.58	0.68 (0.54, 0.86)	0.002
Model 2: Adjusted ORs controlling for age, race, gender, medical history, LBBB, Early repolarization, and LVH.
T-wave inversion	1.25 (0.83, 1.87)	0.29	1.42 (1.15, 1.74)	0.0009
ST-Depression	1.41 (0.94, 2.14)	0.10	1.14 (0.92, 1.42)	0.22
ST-Elevation	1.01 (0.63, 1.60)	0.98	0.65 (0.50, 0.83)	0.0006

Note: we had also intended to control for ventricular pacing in Model 2, but the small event numbers in those with ventricular pacing led to model instability, so it was removed.
