Table 5 Hazard ratio of all-cause mortality in patients with COPD grouped by tertiles of telomere length

From: Telomere length dynamics over 10-years and related outcomes in patients with COPD

  HR (95% Cl) p-value
Model 1   
 Medium vs. long T/Sa 4.803 (0.99–23.18) 0.051
 Short vs. long T/Sa 6.267 (1.32–29.82) 0.021
Model 2
 Short/medium vs. long T/Sa 5.481 (1.23–24.42) 0.026
Model 3
 T/S (decrement 0.1 units)a 1.446 (1.10–1.91) 0.009
  1. T/S relative telomere length ratio, CI confidence interval
  2. aCox HR analysis was adjusted by age, FEV1% and active smoking (current and former smokers) as covariates. Long T/S was used as the reference level. p-value < 0.05 are shown in italics
