Multivariable linear regression analysis of selected parameters as independent predictors of CIMT.
| Parameters | B 1 (t 2) | P | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline eGFR | −0.85 (−8.27) | <0.001 | R2 adjusted = 0.590 F ratio = 21.87 P < 0.001 |
| Age | 0.11 (1.20) | 0.235 | |
| BMI | −0.17 (−1.75) | 0.085 | |
| Systolic blood pressure | 0.03 (0.38) | 0.704 | |
| LDL-cholesterol | −0.07 (−0.96) | 0.341 | |
| CRP | −0.04 (−0.59) | 0.555 |
1 B-value indicates regression coefficient of the independent variable; 2 t-value indicates t-statistic value. Legend: BMI–body mass index; CIMT–carotid intima-media thickness; CRP–C-reactive protein; eGFR–estimated glomerular filtration rate; LDL–low density lipoprotein.
