Table 4:
Stratified regression results for the association of sCD14 with heart failure and stroke events in the JHS
| Outcome | Stratum | Events | N | HR | 95% CI | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heart Failure | Female | 144 | 1,732 | 1.32 | (1.18,1.47) | <0.001 |
| Male | 83 | 1,023 | 0.94 | (0.79,1.11) | 0.44 | |
| Stroke | <49.4 years | 13 | 1051 | 1.45 | (1.11,1.88) | 0.006 |
| 49.4-62.4 years | 40 | 1009 | 1.14 | (0.9,1.44) | 0.29 | |
| ≥62.4 years | 72 | 930 | 0.93 | (0.78,1.12) | 0.47 |
The relationship between sCD14 and heart failure was significantly modified by sex (pinteraction=0. 005); and between sCD14 and stroke by age (pinteraction<0.001). Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported per standard deviation increase in CD14 (316 ng/mL) by strata of sex or age (tertiles). P-values meeting the Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold of p≤0.006 are shown in bold.
