Table 2.

Association of apolipoprotein A-IV with history of cancer (615 and 611 out of 5039 patients). Results are given for both eGFR adjustments (once calculated with cystatin C and once with creatinine)

Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, ln-urine albumin-creatinine ratio, eGFRcystatin C or eGFRcreatinine

Model 2: as model 1 plus statin use, smoking, BMI, diabetes

Abbreviations: OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval

aReference category includes apoA-IV values below median. The median apoA-IV concentration is 27.6 mg/dL (referring to the total group of 5039 patients). There are 278 cases above, and 337 cases below the median (model 1), and 272 cases above, and 335 cases below the median (model 2). Small differences in the number of cases between eGFRcystatin C (n = 615) and eGFRcreatinine (n = 611) adjustment are caused due to few more missing variables for eGFRcreatinine

b“Cases” refers to the number of patients with history of cancer. Differences in number of cases between model 1 and 2 are explained by patients with few missing covariates for model 2
