Circulating Soluble ST2 Predicts All-Cause Mortality in Severe Heart Failure Patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

Table 2

Prognostic value of sST2 in all-cause mortality.

	Variables for adjustment	HR (95% CI)	value
sST2	—	1.022 (1.011–1.034)	0.0001
sST2	Model	1.025 (1.007–1.043)	0.0060
sST2	Model + NT-proBNP	1.019 (1.000–1.037)	0.0455

HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval. Other abbreviations are the same as for Table 1. The prognostic model includes age, gender, device type, SCD prevention, LVEDD, LVEF, WBC, CLBBB, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and eGFR.
