Table 3.
Marker | HR (95% CI) | p | Parameter estimate (SE) |
---|---|---|---|
IL-6 | 1.12 (1.08-1.17) | <0.001 | 0.112 (.02) |
TNF-α | 1.10 (1.06-1.14) | <0.001 | 0.097 (.02) |
hs-CRP | 0.99 (0.95-1.03) | 0.5 | −0.013 (.02) |
Fibrinogen | 1.07 (1.03-1.12) | <0.001 | 0.069 (.02) |
Serum Albumin | 0.95 (0.92-0.99) | 0.004 | −0.050 (.02) |
HR is shown for 1-decile greater level of the inflammatory marker. The composite outcome is ASVD (MI, PAD, stroke) or death.
hs-CRP= High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, IL= Interleukin and TNF-α= Tumor necrosis factor α; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval ; SE, standard error
