Dichotomised indices of disease severity (Killip class, Peel index, length of initial hospital stay, prescription of warfarin at discharge, and composite disease severity index) as predictors in multiple logistic regression analyses of cardiac and all cause mortality following acute MI
| Variable | 4 months | 12 months | 36 months | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiac (n = 22) | All cause (n = 25) | Cardiac (n = 27) | All cause (n = 31) | Cardiac (n = 33) | All cause (n = 38) | |
| Data are represented as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. | ||||||
