Long term multivariate risk factors of mortality from general practice case notes

HR95% CIp Value
Data based on multivariate Cox modelling in 1979 subjects residing outside nursing homes. The HR is associated with recordings in the general practice’s case notes and whether the patient had responded to the questionnaire. Other evaluated variables in that model were not significant—for example, angina, ischaemic heart disease (angina or MI), atrial fibrillation, hypertension, or diabetes.
