Adjusted Hazard Ratios For A Composite End-Point Consisting Of First Hospitalization Based On A Multivariate Cox Regression Model For Aortic Arterial Stiffness In The 115 Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Or Without Metabolic Syndrome

	Model 1		Model 2		Model 3
Hazard Ratio (95% CI)	P value	Hazard Ratio (95% CI)	P value	Hazard Ratio (95% CI)	P value
No AS and no MS	Reference		Reference		Reference
No AS and MS	2.48 (0.93–6.60)	0.069	2.17 (0.75–6.28)	0.151	2.38 (0.77–7.38)	0.134
AS and no MS	3.86 (1.12–13.28)	0.032*	5.48 (1.50–20.05)	0.010*	6.54 (1.67–25.68)	0.007*
AS and MS	7.38 (2.61–20.83)	< 0.001*	8.23 (2.46–27.86)	< 0.001*	10.20 (2.77–37.53)	< 0.001*

Notes: Model 1 is adjusted for age, waist circumference, and body mass index. Model 2 is adjusted for the model 1 variables and for systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting glucose, insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. Model 3 is adjusted for the model 2 variables and for blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, total calcium, phosphorus, and calcium-phosphorous product. *P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Abbreviations: AS, arterial stiffness; MS, metabolic syndrome; CI, confidence interval.
