VariableUnivariableMultivariable
LV systolic dysfunction EF<50%OR 2.84 (CI 1.023 to 7.89) p=0.045OR 6.37 (CI 1.24 to 32.84) p=0.027
LV end-systolic dimension (cm)OR 2.34 (CI 1.32 to 4.14) p=0.003
D-shaped LVOR 34.11 (CI 4.42 to 263.07) p=0.001OR 24.36 (CI 2.99 to 198.64) p=0.003
PV acceleration time (ms)OR 0.98 (CI 0.96 to 1.00) p=0.005
TR Velocity (m/s)OR 2.42 (CI 1.02 to 5.78) p=0.046
Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (mm Hg)OR 1.06 (CI 1.02 to 1.10) p=0.002
PASP>50 mm HgOR 5.61 (CI 1.50 to 21.07) p=0.011
Pulmonary vascular resistance (Wood units)OR 3.53 (CI 1.72 to 7.23) p=0.001
PVR>3.0OR 13.07 (CI 2.76 to 61.84) p=0.001
  • Univariable analysis results are given as OR with 95% CI and p value. After testing for collinearity of the predictor variables with p<0.05, multivariable analysis was conducted with significant variables recorded giving OR, 95% CI and p value.

  • LV, left ventricular; PASP, pulmonary artery systolic pressure; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance.
