Multivariate predictors of left ventricular global longitudinal strain: patients receiving clozapine (n=100)
| Standardised coefficient β | p Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Neutrophil count | 0.33 | 0.007 |
| HDL-C level | −0.27 | 0.02 |
| NT-proBNP | −0.22 | 0.08 |
Backward selection regression model using a p value cut-off of <0.1, R2=0.29.
Other variables included in the analysis and subsequently removed—body mass index, age, heart rate, duration of clozapine treatment, triglyceride level, HsCRP, smoking and diabetes.
HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HsCRP, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
