Multivariable logistic regression model predicting a new abnormal TTE finding (n=83) in those with a prior normal TTE (n=891)
| Patient characteristics | New TTE abnormality detected OR (95% CI) | P value | Model c-statistic |
| Older age | 3.78 (1.85 to 7.74) | 0.003 | 0.71 |
| Prior use of cholesterol-lower medication | 0.44 (0.27 to 0.73) | 0.002 | |
| History of coronary artery disease | 1.73 (1.04 to 2.89) | 0.036 | |
| History of carotid disease | 0.11 (0.01 to 0.80) | 0.029 | |
| Peripheral vascular disease | 2.65 (1.27 to 5.54) | 0.009 | |
| Chronic kidney disease | 2.53 (1.26 to 5.08) | 0.009 |
