In a multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, after correcting for previous stroke, previous TIA, age, sex, smoking status, diabetes, BMI, atrial fibrillation, diagnosis of HTN, average systolic BP, and average diastolic BP, only CRP was an independent predictor of further cerebrovascular events, with OR 1.14 (P = 0.034, 95% CI 1.01–1.29; Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and transient ischemic attack.
