Association of plasma CXCL12 with prevalent cardiovascular diseasea (CVD) at baseline

Model (total n = 3687) Odds ratio (95% CI)b P value Odds ratio (95% CI)c P value
Model 1 1.42 (1.32, 1.53) <0.001 1.81 (1.56, 2.09) <0.001
Model 2 1.36 (1.26, 1.46) <0.001 1.66 (1.43, 1.93) <0.001
Model 3 1.30 (1.20, 1.40) <0.001 1.53 (1.31, 1.78) <0.001
Model 4 1.23 (1.14, 1.33) <0.001 1.38 (1.18, 1.62) <0.001

Model 1: CXCL12 + demographic factors (age, sex, race).

Model 2: CXCL12 + demographic factors + traditional risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, tobacco use, body mass index).

Model 3: CXCL12 + demographic factors + traditional risk factors + plasma inflammatory biomarkers (log transformed IL6, TNFα, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein).

Model 4: CXCL12 + demographic factors + traditional risk factors + plasma inflammatory biomarkers + kidney function measures (CRIC-defined estimated glomerular filtration rate21 and log-transformed urinary albumin:creatinine ratio).

aPrevalent CVD is defined as prior MI or coronary revascularization (n with any CVD = 1232; n without CVD = 2455).

bFor one standard deviation increase in a plasma CXCL12.

cFor plasma CXCL12 levels above the median cut point value of 2.432 ng/mL.
