Variables associated with plaque progression

Parameter	OR (95% CI)	P-value
Baseline AGEs	1.21 (1.01 - 1.48)	0.044
Diabetes mellitus	2.62 (1.14 - 6.05)	0.024
Baseline plaque volume	1.00 (0.99 - 1.02)	0.6
Baseline RLP-C	0.91 (0.72 - 1.10)	0.4

The continuous variables were treated as continuous in the logistic models, and effects were expressed by odds ratio for 1 unit increments.

AGEs, Advanced glycation end products; RLP-C, remnant like particle- cholesterol.
