Liver Stiffness, Not Fat Liver Content, Predicts the Length of QTc Interval in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease

Table 5

Multiple regression analysis in the sample A. Herein, we show the results of the multiple linear regression of the QTc value (after logarithmic transformation) in a subgroup of 175 patients randomly selected from the derivation cohort.

Variable	Coefficient (95% CI)
Age	0.001 (0.000 – 0.002)	0.002
Gender	-0.037 (-0.060 – -0.015)	<0.001
HR	0.002 (0.001 – 0.003)	<0.001
CR drugs	0.009 (-0.002 – 0.004)	0.578
LS	0.003 (0.000 – 0.005)	0.020
CAP	0.000 (0.000 – 0.000)	0.761
Constant	5.786 (5.695 – 5.877)	<0.001

Abbreviations: HR: heart rate; CR: conditional risk; LS: liver stiffness; CAP: controlled attenuation parameter.
