Multivariate logistic regression analysis - age, gender, NT-proBNP level, cTnI level, hs-CRP level, serum creatinine level, hypertension and coronary heart disease


Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated cTnI(OR=26.909, 95%CI 4.086-177.226, P=0.001) and CHD (OR=16.609, 95%CI 2.288-120.577, P=0.005) were the independent risk factors of critical disease status.
