 Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model of predictors of death and non-fatal myocardial infarction

VariableHR (95% CI)p Value
MPO, myeloperoxidase; NT-BNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
Predictors of death and non-fatal myocardial infarction are age, sex, serum creatinine, Killip class, territory of acute myocadial infarction, left ventricular wall motion index, whether the patient received thrombolysis or not, NT-BNP, troponin I and MPO.
Log median MPO6.91 (1.79 to 26.73)0.005
