Moreover, each unit increase in hs-CRP was associated with a 0.54 increase in PHQ-9 score (β=0.68, 95% CI=0.26-1.11) in participants with coronary artery disease than in those without coronary artery disease (β=0.14, 95% CI=0.04-0.23). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and coronary artery disorder.
