Time-dependent ROC curves for predicting cardiovascular events. ROC curves were based on models of the predictability for cardiovascular events with the use of FRS alone; FRS and maxIMT; or FRS, maxIMT, and baPWV. The AUCs for cardiovascular events were 0.60 [95%CI: 0.54-0.67] (FRS alone), 0.63 [95% CI: 0.60-0.82] (FRS and maxIMT), and 0.72 [95%CI: 0.67-0.78] (FRS, maxIMT, and baPWV). The addition of maxIMT alone to FRS resulted in a significant increase in AUC (ΔAUC 0.03 [95% CI: 0.01 to 0.11]; p = 0.01). Addition of baPWV to the FRS and maxIMT resulted in a further significant increase in AUC (0.08 [95% CI: 0.01 to 0.11]; p = 0.02).
