Association of categories of Lp(a) levels with presence of coronary artery disease.
| Cases a | Controls a | p-value | Odds Ratio b | Relative risk b | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age ≤45 years | 17/14/14 | 31/9/5 | 0.004 | 3.65 (p=0.003) 95%CI: 1.5-8.7 | 2.00 (p-0.005) (95% CI: 1.2-3.2) |
| Age > 45 years | 18/13/14 | 26/8/11 | 0.358 | 2.05 (p=0.09) 95%CI: 0.88-4.7 | 1.42 (p=0.09) (95%CI: 0.9-2.1) |
| Total | 35/27/28 | 57/17/16 | 0.003 | 2.7 (p=0.001) 95%CI:1.5-4.9 | 1.67 (p=0.001) 95%CI: 1.2-2.3 |
a
Values in each box in cases and controls columns represent actual number of subjects in category of optimal/high risk/very high risk Lp(a) levels respectively, (optimal ≤30 mg/dl, high risk: 31 - 50 mg/dl, very high risk: >50 mg/dl)
b
Odds Ratio & relative risk were calculated taking high risk & very-high-risk categories as exposed.
