Model 1 is adjusted for age, gender, and body mass index. Model 2 is adjusted for Model 1 variables and for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Model 3 is adjusted for Model 2 variables and for C-reactive protein, statin used, and severity of coronary artery disease. was considered statistically significant after Cox regression analysis.
