“…There was also a significant association between the requirement of mechanical ventilation (34.7% vs. 51.8%, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and increased ICU LOS (8 vs. 10 days, <i>p</i> < 0.01) in patients with ICU admission NLR ≥ 6.55.…”

Genetic Basis and Prognostic Value of Exercise QT Dynamics by Stefan van Duijvenboden (7116386)

“…We also did not observe associations of QT dynamics during exercise and recovery with cardiovascular events. Increased QT dynamics during recovery was significantly associated with all-cause mortality in the univariate Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.05–1.13], P =2.28×10 -5 ), but the association was not significant after adjusting for clinical risk factors.…”
