Effect of Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine Therapy on Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure: A Real-World Study Including 394 Patients

Table 3

Cox regression analysis of different “therapy modalities” and the occurrence of CVE in heart failure patients.

	Integrative	Conventional therapy
Outcome events (cases (%))	90 (49.7)	113 (53.1)	0.545
Model I^1	0.609 (0.458, 0.808)	1.00 (ref.)	0.001
Model II^2	0.353 (0.218, 0.573)	1.00 (ref.)	<0.001
Model III^3	0.322 (0.185, 0.561)	1.00 (ref.)	<0.001

ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI): calculated by Cox proportional risk regression model, compared to the conventional therapy group. ¹Model I was adjusted according to age and gender. ²Model II was adjusted for BMI, combined medications, past medical history, smoking history, comorbidities, and basal cardiac function class on the basis of model I. ³Model III was further adjusted for continuous variables, such as laboratory test results, LVEF, and LVMI.
