Clinical presentation and early predictors for poor outcomes in pediatric myocarditis: A retrospective study

Table 5 Predictors for poor outcome at 1 yr from admission

Variable	Univariate analysis		Multivariate analysis1
	OR (95%CI)	P value	OR (95%CI)	P value
Age < 2 yr	6 (1.1-37)	0.046
Evolution > 7 d	10 (1.1-93)	0.041
NT-proBNP > 5000 pg/mL	13 (1.4-122)	0.024
LVEF < 30%	46 (4.4-392)	0.001	8 (0.56-135)	0.041

¹Multivariate logistic regression was performed only on risk factors in univariate analyses for early and late poor outcome (age < 2 yr, evolution > 7 d, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide > 5000, left ventricular ejection fraction < 30%). ORs refer to the change in odds of poor early and late outcome when the predictor variables are presents. LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval.
