Logistic regression analysis: influence of increased VCAM-1 concentrations (>876 ng/mL) on the extent of the coronary lesion.

Dependent variable	Covariable	OR	(95% CI)	p-value
VCAM-1 >876 ng/mL	No lesion	1
	Minor lesion	1.309	0.405-4.226	0.652
	Intermediate lesion	9.818	1.840-52.384	0.007

Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the Friesinger Index using a VCAM-1 serum concentration >876 ng/mL as a dependent variable. This analysis was not performed with the Major lesion group because, in this study, all patients with major lesions had VCAM-1 concentrations >876 ng/mL.

OR: odds ratio; and CI: confidence interval.
