CRP and diabetes mellitus: In multivariable Cox hazard models, the lowest tertile (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.08–2.99, p = 0.023) and history of CVD (HR2.63, 95% CI 1.22–4.40, p < 0.001) were independent factors associated with four-point MACEs, even after adjusting for gender, age, diabetes, smoking habit, hemoglobin, GNRI, C-reactive protein, and iPTH.
