Simple and multiple logistic regression analysis to identify variables that independently predict patients with high NR2Ab (NR2Ab 1.8 ng/mL cut-off).

| Simple logistic regression | PWV value | 1.29 (0.97–1.71) | 0.08 | PWV cut-off | 6.93 (1.91–25.17) | <0.01 | Age | 1.0 (0.93–1.01) | 0.96 | Gender (male) | 0.18 (0.05–0.67) | 0.01 | DM | 1.63 (0.33–8.01) | 0.54 | Smoking | 0.94 (0.33–2.65) | 0.92 | BMI (kg/m2) | 0.88 (0.79–1.02) | 0.09 | MAP (mmHg) | 0.97 (0.92–1.02) | 0.31 | Cholesterol (mmol/L) | 1.63 (0.84–3.19) | 0.14 | EuroSCORE (Logistic) | 1.09 (0.95–1.25) | 0.21 | AVA (cm2) | 0.35 (0.01–6.98) | 0.49 | AVMG (mmHg) | 0.99 (0.64–1.03) | 0.69 | AVPG (mmHg) | 1.0 (0.97–1.02) | 0.96 | EF | 1.0 (0.96–1.05) | 0.72 |
| Multiple logistic regression (Model 1) | PWV value | 1.4 (0.94–2.06) | 0.09 | Age | 0.95 (0.86–1.05) | 0.32 | Gender (male) | 0.21 (0.05–0.79) | 0.02 |
| Multiple logistic regression (Model 2) | PWV cut-off | 7.23 (1.74–30.1) | <0.01 | Age | 0.98 (0.91–1.06) | 0.66 | Gender (male) | 0.19 (0.04–0.8) | 0.02 |
