| Tertile 1: ≤4A-lines (n = 43) | Tertile 2: 5–7 A-lines (n = 35) | Tertile 3: ≥8 A-lines (n = 32) | P (trend) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary composite outcome | 15 (14) | 12 (11) | 10 (9) | — |
| All-cause mortality (%) | 9 (24) | 4 (11) | 5 (14) | — |
| HF hospitalization (%) | 10 (27) | 11 (30) | 7 (19) | — |
| Unadjusted HR (95% CI) | (Reference) | 1.06 (0.49–2.26) | 0.93 (0.42–2.07) | 0.88 |
| Model 1: Adjusted HR (95% CI) | (Reference) | 1.15 (0.53–2.48) | 0.70 (0.30–1.61) | 0.43 |
Model 1: Adjusted for statistically significant variables; sex, baseline systolic blood pressure baseline log creatinine, and sum of B-lines in eight zones.
Harrell’s C-statistic: Unadjusted: 0.52, Model 1: 0.76.
