Table 4

Mean (SD) of CRP, fibrinogen, D-dimer, ESR, insulin, HOMA-IR, and glycated hemoglobin in patients with ED and their respectively controls (mean ± SD when normally distributed, median when nonnormally distributed).

	Patients with ED	Control group	P value

Fibrinogen (mg/dL)	299.9 ± 71.9	275.9 ± 75.3	0.23
D dimer (mg/L)	0.29	0.26	0.86*
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (mm/h)	6	5	0.14*
Insulin (uUI/mL)	16.5 ± 19.9	11.3 ± 13.4	0.33
HOMA-IR	6.04	2.68	0.008*
Glycated hemoglobin (%)	5.8	5.6	0.029*
