Table 4 Logistic regression model for the prediction of association between Left atrium enlargement, vitamin D levels, DAS28-CRP, and biological agents.
| Left atrium enlargement | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | OR | IC | P value |
| Vitamin D | 0.905 | 0.843–0.973 | 0.007 |
| DAS28-CRP | 0.726 | 0.382–1.380 | 0.328 |
| DAS28-CRP – Disease Activity Score-28 for Rheumatoid Arthritis with c-reactive protein. * This model is adjusted by age, smoking, and left ventricular mass index. | |||
