FIGURE 1 Multiple regression path model considering age, extraction ratio, cardiac index (QT/m2),hemoglobin (Hgb), and PaO2 on exercise to predict V ˙ o 2 ml/kg/min and tolerance of resection. The values above the arrows are standardized partial regression (β) coefficients which indicate change in the outcome variable ( V ˙ o 2 and tolerance) in standard deviation units. The change noted in a predictor is controlled for the effects of other predictors in the equation. The curved lines indicate a correlation between pairs of predictors (full correlation matrix available upon request). The extraneous arrows to V ˙ o 2 and tolerance are illustrative of β coefficients of nondetermination (all variables not included in the model). * = non significant CHEST 1989 95, 267-273DOI: (10.1378/chest.95.2.267) Copyright © 1989 The American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions
