CRP and Hypertension: Results The multivariate logistic regression found that higher levels of initial BNP (odds ratio [OR] = 1.024; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.006–1.041;p = 0.007) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (OR = 1.184; 95%CI: 1.024–1.369;p = 0.022) were independent predictors of poor functional prognosis of noncardiogenic PCI at 90 days after onset after adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, history of hypertension and of diabetes.
