From: Low levels of IgM antibodies to oxidized cardiolipin increase and high levels decrease risk of cardiovascular disease among 60-year olds: a prospective study anti-OxCL.IGG Crude Adjust Quartiles (U/ml) cases controls OR 95% CI P-values OR 95% CI P-values ...
BRI was modeled as both a continuous variable and a categorical variable (quartiles). We used three Cox proportional hazards regression models to analyze the relationship between BRI and mortality in patients with diabetes. The effect sizes were estimated as hazard ratios (HR) with corresponding 95...

Furthermore, the higher the quartile of pain-to-balloon time, the higher was the chance of a reduced FU LVEF (OR 16.9, p = 0.011; OR 28.6, p = 0.002; OR 31.8, p = 0.002). These observations persisted even after adjustment using multiple regression analysis: anterior wall...

Normally distributed continuous variables were described as means and standard deviation (SD), while nonnormally distributed continuous variables were presented as medians and interquartile ranges. Categorical variables were described as the frequency with percentage. Baseline characteristics were summarized acc...
