Improvement in Prediction Probability for Model 3, Without (Base Model) and With Medium- Plus Small-Diameter HDL Particle Concentration (Alternative Model)

Reclassification Down: % Events (n/N) Reclassification Up: % Events (n/N) Relative Risk P Categorical Reclassification* P Continuously Graded Reclassification
ChrIRD 15.0 (486/3242) 17.6 (568/3233) 1.17 0.005 <0.0001
CVD 11.3 (355/3145) 12.0 (401/3330) 1.06 0.34 0.13
CHD 6.0 (190/3187) 7.1 (233/3288) 1.18 0.07 0.25
Stroke 2.9 (88/3028) 2.4 (84/3447) 0.83 0.24 0.19
HF 3.3 (104/3078) 3.5 (118/3397) 1.06 0.83 0.22

HDL indicates high-density lipoprotein; ChrIRD, noncancer chronic inflammation–related hospitalization and death; CVD, cardiovascular disease; CHD, coronary heart disease; HF, heart failure.

P based on 2-sample z test for proportions comparing cumulative event rates for those reclassified up versus those reclassified down.

P for graded reclassification (Poisson regression of outcome on reclassification probability adjusted for base probability).
