Key result
High sensitivity C-reactive protein was strongly associated with coronary artery disease (OR 1.649, P=0.040) and diabetes (OR 2.264, P=0.008) after adjusting for age and gender.
Case-Control (n=150)
No
Odds Ratio: 1.649
p-value: p=0.040
In an urban south Indian population, elevated hs-CRP levels are strongly associated with both diabetes and coronary artery disease, independent of age and gender.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
hs-CRP findings are hypothesis-generating in this south Indian cohort; should not yet change clinical risk assessment or practice.
Mohan et al. (2005) conducted a case-control in Diabetes and coronary artery disease (n=150). High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was evaluated on Coronary artery disease (CAD) (OR 1.649, p=0.040). High sensitivity C-reactive protein was strongly associated with coronary artery disease (OR 1.649, P=0.040) and diabetes (OR 2.264, P=0.008) after adjusting for age and gender.
