Results of the SCD meta-analysis for the two significant SNPs.

Model 1: Age was used as the time scale and sex and geographic region were adjusted for. Model 2: Sex, geographic region, HDL-total cholesterol ratio, systolic blood pressure, prevalent diabetes, BMI, current and former smoking status, physical activity, and prevalent CHD were adjusted for. BMI  =  body mass index, CHD  =  coronary heart disease, CI  =  confidence interval, HDL  =  high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HR  =  hazard ratio (in Cox regression), HSDS  =  The Helsinki Sudden Death Study, I2  =  measure of heterogeneity between studies, OR  =  odds ratio (in logistic regression), RR  =  relative risk, SCD  =  sudden cardiac death, SNP  =  single nucleotide polymorphism, TASTY  =  The Tampere Autopsy Study.
