Association between presence of IFNα serum marker and CV events in RA patients.

Associations were evaluated by logistic regression analysis using the presence of CV events (ischemic heart disease, n = 10; cerebrovascular accidents, n = 4; heart failure, n = 14; peripheral arteriopathy, n = 1) as dependent variable. Associations that reached statistic significance in multivariate analyses are highlighted in bold.*Multivariate analysis adjusted by sex, age at diagnosis, disease activity, smoking habits and presence or absence of HTA, DM and hypercholesterolemia. Accuracy of prediction of the final model was 76.7%.
