摘要: Purpose: To investigate the use of electron beam tomography (EBT) screening to predict allcause mortality in a large cohort asymptomatic women and men. Methods Results. We obtained information from National Death Index 10,377 individuals (40% women) referred by primary care physicians for coronary calcification screening. The average follow-up period was 5 ± 3.5 years. Univariable multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were developed all-cause mortality. Women had lower prevalence smaller scores than men (p < 0.0001). rates higher among older, diabetic, hypertensive, currently smoking both In unadjusted (chi-square = 82, p 0.0001) as well risk-adjusted 7, 0.007) survival models, greater probability death each strata calcification. Relative risk (RR) ratios increased 3.0-fold, 5.5-fold, 5.5-f...
