Age-adjusted and sex-adjusted risk ratios for mortality from vascular and non-vascular diseases per three-fold higher usual C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration

Data are numbers, unless otherwise indicated. Risk ratios (boxes) were adjusted only for age, and stratified (when appropriate), by sex and trial group. Studies with fewer than ten cases of any outcome were excluded from the analysis of that outcome. The risk ratios are presented per 1·11 higher log_e CRP (ie, 1-SD), corresponding to a three-fold higher CRP concentration. Horizontal lines represent the 95% CIs. The sizes of the boxes are proportional to the inverse of the variance of the risk ratios.
