Table 3 Results of Cox proportional hazards model comparing mortality in patients with severe COPD with relative lymphocyte count ≤20%
From: Relative lymphocyte count as an indicator of 3-year mortality in elderly people with severe COPD
Variable | Hazard ratio for relative lymphocytes count ≤20% (95% CI) | p-value |
|---|---|---|
Adjusted for age and sex | 1.81 (1.27–2.59) | 0.0012 |
Adjusted for age, sex, smoking, body mass index, FEV1 (percent of predicted) | 1.79 (1.22–2.62) | 0.003 |
Adjusted for age, sex, smoking, body mass index, FEV1 (percent of predicted), FVC (percent of predicted), FEV1/FVC (percent), PaO2, PaCO2, pH, ischemic heart disease, history of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. | 1.56 (1.02–2.38) | 0.04 |
