Figure 3. Population-Attributable Risk of Each Covariate Among Black and Non-Black Patients.
BNP indicates B-type natriuretic peptide; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ECG, electrocardiogram; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HS, high school; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
SI conversion factors: To convert BNP to nanograms per liter, multiply by 1; cholesterol to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259; creatinine to micromoles per liter, multiply by 88.4; glucose to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0555; hemoglobin to grams per liter, multiply by 10; potassium to millimoles per liter, multiply by 1; sodium to millimoles per liter, multiply by 1.
aIndicates social determinants of health parameters.
bBody mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
