Although there were no significant differences in global mortality rate (23.2% vs. 23.3%) and length of stay (11.8 ± 13,6 vs 10.60 ± 13,7 days) between two groups when patients with LTS were excluded the diminution of mortality rates became significant (14.6% vs. 13.7%; p = 0,02).
Interestingly, threshold GGT levels at which higher CHD mortality risk became significant for both men and women were GGT (16 24 U/L) for men in the second GGT quartile and GGT (20 32 U/L) for women in the first section of their fourth GGT quartile.
The risk of infant mortality was 1.54 higher than in the rest of the metropolitan area, the log likelihood ratio reduced from 12 to 8.74 and the cluster of infant mortality became borderline significant (p=0.06), indicating that the socioeconomic index explained a major part of the excess infant mortality shown by the unadjusted analysis [ 46].
In the sensitivity analysis that was restricted to subjects who did not move to an area with a different postal code, the positive association between increasing levels of magnesium in tap water and stroke mortality became statistically significant among women (quintile 5 vs. quintile 1 HR = 4.57; 95% CI, 0.62 33.85; p-trend = 0.02).
Magid et al reported that the difference in mortality became non-significant when adjusted for reperfusion treatment time.
When global SRH was placed in the same models as age-comparative (model 4) and self-comparative (model 5) SRH the relationship between 'worse' age-comparative and 'not as good' self-comparative ratings and mortality became non-significant.
Interestingly, after 10-year poststudy follow-up as more events occurred, risk reductions for MI (15%, P = 0.01) and all-cause mortality (13%, P = 0.007) became significant (9).
If patients with heart failure (n = 33) were excluded from the analysis the associations became significant for all outcome measures except total mortality (Table 5).> -wrap-foot>> -wrAbsolute Absolute numbers of clinically relevant outcome measures during follow-up.
In analyses of overall mortality, Cat5 alterations exhibited a non-significant trend towards worse outcome (HR=1.61, 95% CI=0.60 4.32) that became significant in multivariate analysis (HR=3.71, 95% CI=1.35 10.18).
Other conditions became significant in different models.
