Multiple linear regression analysis between hsCRP and cholesterol efflux capacity in CAD patients (n = 36).

Linear-Regression Covariates*	Beta Coefficient per 1-SD increase in lg(hsCRP) (95% CI)	p
Cardiovascular risk factors	− 0.019 (− 0.035 to − 0.004)	0.016
Cardiovascular risk factors, HDL-C	− 0.018 (− 0.035 to − 0.002)	0.027
Cardiovascular risk factors, NMR-HDL-C	− 0.019 (− 0.035 to − 0.004)	0.019
Cardiovascular risk factors, HDL1-cholesterol	− 0.020 (− 0.038 to − 0.002)	0.032
Cardiovascular risk factors, HDL4-cholesterol	− 0.019 (− 0.035 to − 0.003)	0.023

Cardiovascular risk factors included: age, male sex, LDL-C, diabetes, current smoking, body mass index, triglycerides (log-transformed). hsTnT (log-transformed); hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; CAD, coronary artery disease; NMR-HDL-C, NMR-determined high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Boldface type emphasizes significant changes.
