Is Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 a Link between Inflammation and Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Table 3

Multiple regression models among 71 patients with early RA with the concentration of Lp-PLA2 at T0 as dependent variable.

	Lp-PLA2 at T0
	β	95% CI	value
Larsen score T0	2.8/unit	−0.3; 5.8	0.06
DAS28 T0	−4.6/unit	−2.0; 0.3	0.03

RA: rheumatoid arthritis; Lp-PLA2: lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2; DAS28: disease activity score for 28-joint count.
