Table 3 Logistic regression parameters. The outcome of logistic regression is shown for a model where low post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) Systemic Vascular Resistance Index (SVRI) is the dependent variable (secondary outcome). The covariates entered into the model were IL-18 9545 genotype, age, gender and duration of bypass.
From: Novel polymorphism of interleukin-18 associated with greater inflammation after cardiac surgery
Covariate | Relative risk of low post-CPB SVRI | 95% confidence interval | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
IL-18 9545 (TT versus TG/GG genotype) | 1.57 | 1.01 to 2.44 | 0.045 |
Age (per year) | 1.01 | 0.98 to 1.03 | 0.480 |
Gender (female) | 0.70 | 0.39 to 1.27 | 0.703 |
Duration of bypass (per hour) | 1.03 | 0.66 to 1.62 | 0.889 |
