Thus, for example, in the calculation of baseline characteristics, subjects with scores above the 80th percentile for age and gender assigned to the control arm of the randomized clinical trial were counted twice relative to subjects with scores at or below the 80th percentile, since high-score...
Specifically, we sought to compare the proportions of the κ and λ types of FLC with the respective type of TLC, that is, the ratio of FLC κ/TLC κ to FLC λ/TLC λ. This method of calculation not only takes into account the total amount of IgLCs but also considers their distributi...
Using the 2019 guideline-recommended PTP calculation method, we calculated PTP for all patients and compared the clinical performance of Model 1 (Diamond and Forrester Model), Model 2, Model 3, and the PTP model using DCA curves. In the DCA curves, Pt represents the threshold probability of ...
Continuity correction was used when no event occurred in one group to allow calculation of a RR [15]. Heterogeneity among trials was quantified with the Higgins and Thompson I2 [16]. I2 can be interpreted as the percentage of variability due to heterogeneity between studies rather than ...
Therefore, the calculation of the coronary artery calcium score has become a routine method in diagnosing coronary artery disease in recent years. Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio reflects proatherogenic and antiatherogenic balance, and this ratio is associated with...

It was examined the relationship between oxidative stress and SCORE2, and to investigate whether one of the oxidative stress parameters may represent a potential risk marker permitting more accurate high-risk prediction for CV risk calculation models. The study groups consisted of 71 coronary artery ...
We were able to use prevalent cases along with matched controls for the polygenic risk score calculation as the genetic information is fixed at birth and therefore precedes these events. Study design for the CVD analysis is shown in eFigure 1 in the Supplement....
We performed a post hoc power calculation to compare survival in patients with no to mild plaque versus those with 3-vessel or left main disease (β≥ 0.80; α = 0.05), with our current sample yielding sufficient statistical power to detect differences in mortality between these groups or any...
Summary estimate risk ratios (RRs) were determined using the DerSimonian and Laird random-effect model, with zero-event included in the calculation by a 0.5 continuity correction. An intention-to-treat analysis was used to analyze outcomes. The significance of two-sided P-values was assessed at...
