Table 4. Multivariable logistic regression of risk factors for the presence of any and severe coronary plaque.

OR 95%CI P value OR 95%CI P value
Age 1.11 1.09–1.12 <0.001 1.06 1.04–1.08 <0.001
Gender (male = 1) 2.85 2.30–3.52 <0.001 3.18 2.22–4.57 <0.001
Smoking (yes = 1) 1.94 1.51–2.50 <0.001 1.84 1.27–2.66 0.001

Systolic blood pressure 1.01 1.01–1.02 <0.001 1.00 0.99–1.01 0.48
Fam. history (positive = 1) 1.37 1.11–1.69 <0.01 1.38 0.98–1.94 0.07

eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 1.00 (reference) 1.00 (reference)
eGFR 60–89 mL/min/1.73 m2 0.92 0.73–1.15 0.45 1.21 0.81–1.80 0.36
eGFR 30–59 mL/min/1.73 m2 0.75 0.48–1.18 0.21 1.52 0.80–2.90 0.21

Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed with known traditional cardiovascular risk factors as well as the CKD categories. Patients with normal renal function (eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2) were used as reference category (OR = 1.00).
