Association of IR and the severity of CAD in correlation with RBP-4 levels.
| Parameter | OR (95% CI) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|
| Insulin resistance | 1.166 (1.009–3.042) * | 0.030 |
| Severity of CAD |
a 1.647 (1.212–1.972) ¥ b 1.815 (1.044–3.040) ¥ |
0.044
0.036 |
* Computed using binary logistic regression analysis. ¥ Computed using multinomial logistic regression analysis. HOMA-IR cutoff point: 7.17. Bold font indicates significance at p < 0.05. Insulin-sensitive (IS) is used as the reference group (IS vs. IR) for insulin resistance. SVD was used as the reference group (a SVD vs. DVD; b SVD vs. TVD) for the severity of CAD, adjusted for the covariates age, race, gender, and BMI. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
