  1. Multivariable analysis included GLS and variables selected from stepwise selection procedure. The full model included all variables with p-value< 0.05 from univariable analysis. The HR (95% CI) were presented when GLS was modeled as continuous variable. Then the same multivariable analysis was done when GLS modeled as a categorical variable [defined as ≥(-18%) vs <(-18%)]
