After backward elimination, only CKD (Wald: 9.529, OR: 12.316, 95% CI: 2.501–60.647, p = 0.002), C-reactive protein (Wald: 4.414, OR: 1.199, 95% CI: 1.012–1.420, p = 0.036), and B+ Tn-C (Wald: 7.854, OR: 1.002, 95% CI: 1.001–1.004, p = 0.005), but not age, diabetes mellitus, CAD, statin medication, and C+ Tn-C were found to be independent predictors of pulmonary hypertension. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
