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

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).
