The numerical data selected for the data-based clinical disease profile and the disease activity score

*Patients (7 without cardiovascular events, 6 with symptomatic atherosclerosis) who had incompressible ankle arteries ( = ABI>1.5) were excluded from this analysis.#The numeric data obtained during the two study periods were compared using Mann-Whitney-U-Test.��Method by which the data was obtained: H = history, C = clinical examination, L = laboratory test, X = chest X-ray, E = electrocardiography, O = others.*本分析排除了踝动脉不可受压（踝肱指数（Ankle Brachial Index, ABI）>1.5）的患者，此类患者包含7名无心血管事件者、6名伴症状性动脉粥样硬化者。采用曼-惠特尼U检验（Mann-Whitney-U-Test）对两个研究阶段获取的数值型数据进行比较。数据获取方式如下：H=病史采集，C=临床检查，L=实验室检测，X=胸部X线检查，E=心电图检查，O=其他。
