 Independent predictors of long term mortality in multivariate analysis

HR (95% CI)p Value
For the comparison of GFR <60 ml/min versus ⩾60 ml/min, cardiogenic shock versus no cardiogenic shock, white cell count >10×109/l versus white cell count ⩽10×109/l, troponin T ⩾0.01 μg/l versus troponin T <0.01 μg/l, for one additional coronary artery with ⩾50% stenosis, for an increase in age of one year, and T wave inversion versus no T wave inversion.
CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.
