Table 2. Forward stepwise logistic regression analysis showing odds ratios for the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the hemodialysis patients .

Parameters	OR	95% CI	p value
Thrombopondin-1	1.38	1.09-1.75	0.008
Age	1.04	1.00-1.09	0.03
Smoking	3.18	1.07-9.48	0.04
Diabetes	2.92	1.28-6.69	0.01
Hyperlipidemia	3.01	1.26-7.19	0.01

Variables included in the original model are thrombospondin-1, age, sex, duration of dialysis, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, creatinine, fasting glucose, HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and hsCRP.

CI, confidence internal; OR, odds ratio.
