Risk of STEMI during influenza season compared to non-influenza season:
The table 5 shows the regression analysis for the risk of experiencing a STEMI over NTEMI during the influenza season compared to the non-influenza season. In the univariate analysis, onset of STEMI was significantly more likely during influenza compared to non-influenza season, with a risk of RR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.18, but this association was not found significant after adjusting for confounders in the multivariate analysis (adjusted RR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.91- 1.16).
