We confirmed that lower plasma CETP concentration decreased the risk of CHD (OR 0.92, 95%CI 0.89; 0.96, p-value 2.47 × 10−5), any stroke (OR 0.90, 95%CI 0.85; 0.95), any ischemic stroke (OR 0.96, 95%CI 0.94; 0.98), as well as small vessel stroke (OR 0.90, 95%CI 0.85; 0.96); Fig. 2, Table S1. Here, CETP is linked to small vessel stroke.
