Initial multivariable model included all ECG parameters. Final multivariable model resulted from stepwise logistic regression, with p<0.30 to enter model and p<0.10 to retain in model. LVH, prolonged PR interval and P-wave duration did not remain significant, were omitted from the final model, and were not included in the abnormal ECG marker total. C-statistic of the model was 0.846, goodness of fit test p=0.11.
