Table 5 Risk factors associated with recurrence of hemoptysis after BAE

Independent variables	Level of variables	Uncorrected		After correction
Independent variables	Level of variables	HR (95%CI)	P	HR ^a(95%CI)	P
Treated with pituitary hormone	No vs Yes	2.278(1.058–4.904)	0.035	2.057(0.948–4.462)	0.068
Arterio-arterial or arteriovenous fistula	Yes vs No	2.321(1.108–4.863)	0.026	2.103(0.997–4.436)	0.051

^aSince the univariate analysis of “treated with pituitary hormone” and “arterio-arterial or arteriovenous fistula” indicated significant difference, they were further corrected by COX multivariate analysis. “Treated with pituitary hormone” and “arterio-arterial or arteriovenous fistula” were adjusted
