Cox regression analysis evaluating the hazard ratio (HR) of the CT genotype of CD14 SNP rs2569190 for the incidence of the (a) combined endpoint (stroke/TIA, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, and death from stroke) and (b) cardiovascular death within a 3-year follow-up period (adjusted for age, gender, smoking, body mass index, hypertension, hyperlipoproteinemia, diabetes, and severe periodontitis).
