What is the relation between LDL-C and the risk of hospitalization for MI for selected values of baseline eGFR?
Figure 1 shows the relation between LDL-C and the risk of MI appears linear at LDL-C above 2.6 mmol/l (100 mg/dl). The hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) of MI associated with each 1 mmol/l (39 mg/dl) increase in LDL-C above 2.6 mmol/l is 1.19 (95% CI 1.11 1.27), 1.17 (95% CI 1.09 1.25) and 1.18 (95% CI 1.09 1.27) for people with eGFR of Z90, 60 89.9 and , respectively.
