Further stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis, including the above-mentioned significant indicators and the established risk factors (including sex and active smoking), showed that MAFLD [adjusted OR (AOR) = 2.190, 95% CI 1.135–4.227], age (AOR = 1.115, 95% CI 1.076–1.156), DAS28-CRP (AOR = 1.234, 95% CI 1.017–1.498), and AF (AOR = 4.427, 95% CI 1.022–19.171, all p < 0.05, Figure 2A) were associated with an increase in CVD events in patients with RA. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is atrial fibrillation.
