Plasma osteoglycin levels and the presence of total occlusion and complex lesions

Plasma osteoglycin levels did not differ between CAD patients with and without total occlusion (P = 0.85) (left). Notably, osteoglycin levels were significantly lower in CAD patients with complex lesions than in those without such lesions (P < 0.02). However, osteoglycin levels in patients with complex lesions were not different from those in patients without CAD (P = 0.38) (right). The central line represents the median, and the box represents the 25th to 75th percentiles. The whiskers represent the lowest and highest value in the 25th percentile minus 1.5 IQR and 75th percentile plus 1.5 IQR, respectively.
