Data are linear mixed model estimates (SE) and P-value.

Model 1: adjusted for centre; model 2: adjusted for centre, gender and age; model 3: adjusted for centre, gender, age, smoking status and diabetes mellitus. All models automatically adjust for baseline calcification as repeated mixed effects models were used.
