Non-calcified plaques, of which one (1.2 ) was obstructive (Table 2). Coronary atherosclerosis was completely absent in 32.9 of patients.Follow-up: impact of CT results on treatment and cardiovascular risk profileSubsequent to CT results, 7.1 of patients underwent percutaneous revascularisation. Medical therapy was optimised in 25.9 patients: 4.7 started ACE inhibitors/ ARB , 12.9 were put on
To evaluate a potential association with the study endpoints. Cox regression (method Forward Conditional) was performed to identify the independent predictors of cardiovascular events over time. Treatment started after CT (revascularisation, antiplatelet agents, statins) and duration of diabetes were also regarded. The discriminatory power of cardiovascular events predictors was then evaluated thr
Utoff point the Youden index, which is the point on the ROC curve where optimal sensitivity and specificity are achieved. Predictor models were created trough multivariate analysis (binary logistic regression with the method Enter) using events predictors (as continuous variables whenever possible): Clinical model, comprising GFR, age and Framingham evaluated before CT; CT model, comprising CS, ob
