In a multivariate Cox regression analysis including PTX3, cTnI, hsCRP, age, CCSA class > II, prevalence of LVEF < 50%, diabetes mellitus, and multiple stents, PTX3 (RR 2.512, P = 0.001; 95% CI, 1.466–4.305), cTnI (RR 1.012, P = 0.008; 95% CI, 1.004–1.284), multiple stents (RR 2.401, P < 0.001; 95% CI, 1.479–3.899), and age (RR 1.041, P = 0.013; 95% CI, 1.008–1.074) but not hsCRP (RR 1.093, P = 0.056; 95% CI, 0.998–1.197) were independently associated with the prevalence of MACEs (Table 4). The gene discussed is PTX3; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
