CRP and hypertensive disorder: Multivariate regression models further suggested that AA genotype was independently associated with favorable outcomes in this group after being adjusted for three common stroke risk factors such as age, hypertension history, and C-reactive protein level [odds ratio (OR) 0.23, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.07–0.64, P = 0.02 for 7-day National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; OR 0.2, 95% CI, 0.06–0.66, P = 0.03 for 7-day modified Rankin Scale, and OR 0.25, 95% CI, 0.08–0.72, P = 0.03 for 7-day Barthel Index, respectively].
