3.2.2.8 Cardiovacular death and all-cause death
Cardiovascular death occurred in 12 patients: 5 patients in the new
programming group (6%) and 7 patients (7%) in the conventional
programming group (p=0.617). New programming was not significantly
associated with death (HR 0.637, 95% CI 0.186-2.176, p= 0.472) (table
2).
Death from all-cause occurred in 34 patients: : 18 patients in the new
programming group (20%) and 16 patients (17%) in the conventional
programming group (p=0.578). New programming was not significantly
associated with death (HR 1.045, 95% CI 0.516-2.113, p= 0.904) (table
2). Age (HR 1.063, 95% CI 1.016-1.111, p= 0.008 for each year) and
diabetes (HR 3.139, 95% CI 1.497-6.580, p=0.002) were both
independently associated with death.
