Multinominal logistic regression analysis of factors associated with high calcification score media (2 + 3) (n = 122, pseudo r2 = 0.22). Patients with calcification score media 0 + 1 served as the reference.
| High calcification score media (Q2 + Q3) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Odds ratio (95%CI) | p-value | |
| 1-SD increase of age, years | 2.3 (1.3–4.1) | 0.006 |
| 1-SD increase of dp-ucMGP, pmol/L | 1.6 (1.0–2.5) | 0.04 |
| Gender (female, male) | 7.3 (2.2–25.1) | 0.001 |
| 1-SD increase of hsCRP, mg/L | 1.3 (0.4–1.3) | 0.31 |
| Diabetes mellitus (yes, no) | 26.0 (2.3–293.2) | 0.008 |
| 1-SD increase of CAC-score, AU | 1.2 (0.5–2.9) | 0.59 |
Abbreviations: 95%CI, 95% confidence interval; 1- SD, one standard deviation; dp-ucMGP, dephosphorylated uncarboxylated Matrix Gla protein; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; CAC, coronary artery calcium; AU, Agatston unit.
