Multivariate Cox proportional hazards testing revealed MELD-XI as an independent predictor of CV events (HR: 1.033, 95% CI: 1.006–1.061, p = 0.015) after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, NYHA III/IV, prior HF hospitalization, systolic blood pressure, ischemic etiology, ventricular tachycardia, anemia, BNP, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Here, NPPB is linked to ventricular tachycardia.
