Table 2. Results of haplotype analysis in anti-CCP negative RA patients in association with CV events.

Variable HR (95% CI) p
Age at RA diagnosis (by each year) 1.08 (1.06–1.10) <0.001
Hypertension 0.98 (0.63–1.51) 0.929
Diabetes mellitus 1.58 (1.01–2.45) 0.043
Obesity 1.22 (0.78–1.89) 0.390
Dyslipidemia 1.27 (0.84–1.93) 0.254
Smoking 1.12 (0.85–1.48) 0.417
Haplotypes (rs3134063, rs2073618, rs3134069) HR (95% CI) * p *
TCA 1 (reference) -
TGA 0.94 (0.55–1.60) 0.825
CCA 1.09 (0.68–1.76) 0.724
CGA 0.54 (0.31–0.95) 0.032

CCP: cyclic citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies; CI: confidence interval; CV: cardiovascular; HR: hazard ratios; RA: rheumatoid arthritis.

*Adjusted for sex, age at RA diagnosis and traditional CV risk factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, and smoking habit).
