This was significant in addition to the other risk factors (present prior to the index date) in the multivariable model, including elevated ApoB:ApoA1 ratio (HR [95% CI] = 5.08 [2.37–10.87], p = 2.90 × 10−5), current smoking (HR [95% CI] = 1.99 [1.19–3.34], p = 0.009), and hypertension (HR [95% CI] = 3.50 [1.80–6.81], p = 2.16 × 10−4) (Table 5). Here, APOB is linked to Hypertension.
