  1. Final models are presented; factors that were not statistically significant were excluded since they can introduce noise and reduce precision of estimates
  2. MI = myocardial infarction
  3. TIA = transient ischemic attack
  4. *p < 0.05
  5. **p < 0.01
  6. † p < 0.001
  7. -- = not statistically significant
