CRP and coronary restenosis: Our pooled analysis which included 19 studies [1, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43], and performed using random effects, demonstrated a significant association between higher baseline CRP levels and the incidence of angiographically confirmed coronary restenosis (SMD = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.16, 0.66; p = 0.001.
