Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis on the predictive capacity of the created multivariable Cox regression model for the occurrence of CAD in patients with T2DM aged ≥ 65 years. ROC analysis on the predictive capacity of the NGAL (AUC = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.75–0.84, P < 0.001) and sdlDL-C (AUC = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.72–0.80, P < 0.001) for the identification of the hazard for the primary composite outcome of major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events (MACCE: cardiovascular or cerebrovascular death, acute coronary syndrome, coronary stent implantation, and stroke), with a sensitivity of 74.01% and 69.49% and a specificity of 78.86% and 73.38%, respectively. Moreover, the combination of NGAL and sdlDL-C improved the prediction capability (AUC = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.84–0.90, P < 0.001)
