High Plasma Levels of Soluble Talin-1 in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Table 3

Factors associated with CAD (multiple logistic regression analysis of the 349 study patients).

	Odds ratio	(95% CI)	value
Age (>70 years)	2.26	(1.40-3.63)	<0.002
Male gender	2.01	(1.19-3.40)	<0.01
Statin use	1.90	(1.13-3.21)	<0.02
DM	2.09	(1.18-3.70)	<0.02
High sTalin-1 level (>0.28 ng/mL)	1.83	(1.14-2.93)	<0.02

The dependent variable was the presence of CAD. The analysis included age (>70 years), male gender, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, low HDL-cholesterol (<40 mg/dL), statin use, DM, smoking, and high hsCRP (>1.0 mg/L) and high sTalin-1 (>0.28 ng/mL) levels.
