Table 4. Results of haplotype analysis in anti-CCP negative RA patients in association with cerebrovascular events.
Variable | HR (95% CI) | p | |
Age at RA diagnosis (by each year) | 1.09 (1.05–1.13) | <0.001 | |
Hypertension | 1.13 (0.51–2.48) | 0.769 | |
Diabetes mellitus | 3.71 (1.78–7.70) | <0.001 | |
Obesity | 1.28 (0.58–2.83) | 0.547 | |
Dyslipidemia | 0.80 (0.39–1.66) | 0.556 | |
Smoking | 1.13 (0.68–1.88) | 0.632 | |
Haplotypes (rs3134063, rs2073618, rs3134069) | HR (95% CI) * | p * | |
TCA | 1 (reference) | - | |
TGA | 1.38 (0.56–3.42) | 0.487 | |
CCA | 1.16 (0.49–2.76) | 0.740 | |
CGA | 0.17 (0.04–0.78) | 0.022 |
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).
