Independent risk factors of aspirin overuse by multivariate logistic regression analysis for patients with low risk.
| Variables | OR (95%CI) | p-value |
|---|---|---|
| Age (per 5 years) | 1.02 (1.01, 1.03) | <0.001 |
| Family history of premature CVD | 1.60 (1.31, 1.94) | <0.001 |
| Hypertension | 2.69 (2.40, 3.00) | <0.001 |
| Diabetes | 1.80 (1.58, 2.05) | <0.001 |
| Total cholesterol, mg/dL | 0.86 (0.82, 0.91) | <0.001 |
| Low-level hospital (vs. tertiary) | 1.38 (1.22, 1.55) | <0.001 |
The multivariate logistic regression model included the following factors: age, male, current or former smoker, Family history of premature CVD, diabetes, hypertension, BMI, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, Non-HDL, anti-hypertensive therapy, hospital level by using forward stepwise.
OR, odds ratios; CVD, cardiovascular disease; BMI, body mass index; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides.
