Table 2. Association of baseline levels of t-PA antigen, D-dimer and VWF with coronary heart disease in the Reykjavik Study (1925 cases, 3616 controls).

When analyses were restricted to participants with complete information on C-reactive protein (1906 cases, 3573 controls), the odds ratios (95% CI) per 1 SD higher value of t-PA antigen were 1.26 (1.18, 1.33) when adjusting for age, sex and period of recruitment, 1.15 (1.07, 1.22) when additionally adjusting for non-lipid risk factors, 1.07 (0.99, 1.14) when additionally adjusting for lipid risk factors and 1.04 (0.97, 1.11) when additionally adjusting for C-reactive protein. Corresponding odds ratios were 1.01 (0.95, 1.07), 1.04 (0.98, 1.11), 1.07 (1.00, 1.14) and 1.05 (0.99, 1.12) for D-dimer and 1.12 (1.05, 1.18), 1.09 (1.02, 1.15), 1.09 (1.03, 1.16) and 1.06 (1.00, 1.13) for VWF.
