Weighting of predictive capability for all-cause and cardiovascular deaths with 438 ECG parameters. Wald statistics in the univariable logistic regression models for all-cause death (a) and cardiovascular death (b) with ECG parameters are presented in the order of time-phases. The gray bars indicate the parameters obtained with the MUSE system (438 parameters) and red bars indicate the parameters selected for the final prediction models (109 and 70 parameters for all-cause and cardiovascular death, respectively). The labels under the bars were represented as follows; 1 PR-interval and P axis, 2 P Area, 3 P′ Area, 4 P Area (Full), 5 P Peak Time, 6 P′ Peak Time, 7 P Peak Amplitude, 8 P′ Peak Amplitude, 9 P Duration, 10 P′ Duration, 11 QRS duration and R Axis, 12 QRS Area, 13 Q Area, 14 Q Peak Amplitude, 15 Q Duration, 16 R Area, 17 R′ Area, 18 R Peak Time, 19 Max R Amplitude, 20 R Duration, 21 R′ Duration, 22 S Area, 23 S′ Area, 24 S Peak Time, 25 Max S Amplitude, 26 S Duration, 27 S′ Duration, 28 QTc and T Axis, 29 ST at J Point, 30 Minimum ST level, 31 Maximum ST level, 32 T Area, 33 T′ Area, 34 T Area (Full), 35 T Peak Time, 36 T Peak Amplitude, 37 T′ Peak Amplitude, 38 T Duration, 39 T′ Duration. The order of the lead specific parameter was I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6
