The multiple linear regression model: to predict peak metabolic equivalents and peak oxygen pulse in patients with coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention by Wenqing Xu, Wenqing Xu, Wenqing Xu, Yin Xiang, Bo Liu, Jianhua Yan, Tingting Zhang, Wanqi Yu, Jia Han, Shu Meng, Shu Meng

“…Stepwise multifactorial linear regression was used to determine which clinical variables should be adjusted to improve peak METs and O2Ppeak.ResultsResults of multifactorial linear regression showed 2 equations: peak METs = 6.768–0.116*BMI + 0.018*Hgb-0.026*age-0.005*Gensini score (Adjusted R2 = 0.301, F = 17.239, p < 0.001); O2Ppeak = −1.066 + 0.264*BMI + 0.049*Hgb-0.035*age (Adjusted R2 = 0.382, F = 32.106, p < 0.001).ConclusionBMI, Hgb, age and Gensini score can be used to predict peak METs and BMI, Hgb and age can be used to predict O2Ppeak in patients with CAD clinically. Thus, tailored exercise program should be prescribed for individual CAD patient undergoing cardiac rehabilitation and modifying clinical factors such as BMI, Hgb and Gensini score will help to improve their cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life.…”
