*The ROC AUC values of the corresponding univariable logistic regression models are added for the sake of comparison.
†Serum urate and TR velocity were included in the respective models using restricted cubic splines with three knots. Knots for serum urate were selected at 3.3, 4.7 and 7.1 mg/100 ml and for TR velocity were selected at 2, 2.5 and 3.4 m/s. For each of these two variables only one p value is presented indicating its overall effect.
‡When right ventricle area was used instead of right atrium area, the p value was 0.035; the rest of the p values remained with similar results.
ACA, anticentromere antibody; DLCO, pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide; FVC, forced vital capacity; NTproBNP, N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide; ROC AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; TR, tricuspid regurgitant jet.
