Table 3: The univariate odds ratio that a myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) study will be true positive is listed for clinically relevant variables. Covariates found to be significant at α < 0.2 were selected for multivariate analysis; multivariate odds ratios are listed at right (with 95% confidence interval and p value).
