Associations between IgM antibody levels and prevalence of renal disease or cardiovascular disease.

IgM anti-	Renal disease		ASCVD events
(≥ median)	Odds ratio (95% CI)	p-Values	Odds ratio (95% CI)	p-Values
PC	0.75 (0.32, 1.77)	0.51	0.24 (0.09, 0.65)	0.0053^*

Odds ratios and p-values presented Fisher's exact test analysis on autoantibody levels dichotomized on median values indicated for Table 2. Renal disease confirmed by biopsy. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events: cerebrovascular accident or myocardial infarction.

The sizes of some samples were inadequate for all tests. IgM anti-CL, anti-dsDNA: n=95; all other: n = 120.

Statistically significant.
