Table 5. Hazard and Sub-hazard ratio of CVD-death in the lowest tertile of relative CD34+ cells by Cox regression and competing regression analysis.
Multivariable models | HR (95% CI) | P value | SHR (95% CI) | P value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Lowest CD34+ tertile vs. medium+highest tertiles | 2.50 (1.23–5.10) | 0.011* | 2.68 (1.30–5.52) | 0.008* |
HR hazard ratio, SHR sub hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, CD34+ levels were adjusted for male gender, age, diabetes, smoking, pCVD, hemoglobin, GNRI, C-reactive protein, and iPTH.
*P<0.05: statistically significant association
