Predictive value of biomarker assays for presence of plaque in SLE

Biomarker test^#	p-value^‡	Odds Ratio (95% confidence interval)	Sensitivity	Specificity
Low IgM anti-PC/total IgM < 0.2	0.003	4.0 (1.6–10.1)	41%	85%
High adiponectin > 21 ug/ml	0.15	2.6 (1.0–6.5)	30%	83%
High sE-selectin > 81 ng/ml	0.06	2.1 (0.8–5.3)	35%	82%

Fisher’s exact test

Cutoff for positive test based on lowest quartile of anti-PC IgM/total IgM, highest quartile adiponectin, and highest quartile sE-selectin.
