The Effect of Including C-Reactive Protein in Cardiovascular Risk Prediction Models for Women

Figure 1. Risk estimates are provided on a natural log scale and were derived from a Cox regression model using a flexible
spline curve. Dotted lines represent 95% CIs.
Relative risk (RR) of future cardiovascular events according to baseline high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels
in the model derivation cohort (n= 15048), adjusted for Framingham covariables.
