As displayed in Figure 2, the AUC for the model containing Sema7A and other conventional risk factors, including hypertension, BMI, FBG, TC, TG, HDL‐C, LDL‐C, current smoking and alcohol consumption, was significantly larger than that for the model including only other conventional risk factors (0.891 vs 0.831, P < 0.01), suggesting that incorporating Sema7A into the basic model significantly improved the prediction value of the model for AAS cases. Here, SEMA7A is linked to hypertensive disorder.
