Duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus and systolic blood pressure as determinants of severity of coronary stenosis and adverse events in an asymptomatic diabetic population: PROCEED study

Table 5 Factors associated with adverse CV eventsin a multivariate Cox regression analysis

Model	N	Variable	Hazard ratio (95% CI)	p value
1^a	250	Duration of T2DM (per 5 years)	1.35 (1.05–1.74)	0.02
1^a	250	CAC score (per log₁₀ AU)	2.32 (1.12–4.81)	0.02
2^b	234	Number of 50% plaques^c	1.17 (1.01–1.36)	0.04
		Number of plaques^c	1.19 (1.03–1.37)	0.02
		SBP (per 10 mm Hg)	1.04 (1.0–1.08)	0.05

Italics indicate a statistically significant association between the predictor variable and adverse CV events
AU, Agatston units; CAC, coronary artery calcium; CI, confidence interval; CV, cardiovascular; SBP, systolic blood pressure; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus
^aPatients with CAC score data who were available for safety follow-up
^bPatients with CTCA data who were available for safety follow-up
^cAnalysis excludes the 20 patients with CAC score > 1000 who did not undergo CTCA
