Figures & data
Table I. Base-line characteristics of the participants by survival status.
Table II. Hazard ratios for total and cardiovascular mortality during the median follow-up of 7.9 years according to base-line BNP and MMSE score (n = 499).
Figure 2. Age- and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazards survival curves for total and cardiovascular mortality divided by B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and Mini-Mental State Examination test (MMSE) quintiles (I–V), separately, in the entire study population (n = 499). A: BNP and total mortality (P for trend < 0.001). B: MMSE and total mortality (P < 0.001). C: BNP and cardiovascular mortality (P < 0.001). D: MMSE and cardiovascular mortality (P = 0.067). The BNP quintiles were 3.2–17.0, 17.2–28.0, 28.2–45.3, 46.2–78.8, and 79.7–500 pg/mL. The MMSE score quintiles were 18–23, 24–25, 26–27, 28, and 29–30.
