| A receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve analysis showed that ASA / ASL and FER ( HDL ) had moderate discriminating ability for CAD and the diagnostic accuracy of ASA / ASL was better than that of FER ( HDL ) ( area under ROC curve : 0 . 703 and 0 . 656 , respectively ) . ^^^ Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that ASA / ASL and FER ( HDL ) were independent indicators for CAD [ odds ratio ( 95 % CI ) : 7 . 5 ( 2 . 4 27 ) , P < 0 . 01 and 4 . 0 ( 1 . 2 15 ) , P < 0 . 05 ] after adjusting for age , gender and other conventional risk factors , and that a high FER ( HDL ) value greatly increased the relative risk of CAD associated with a high ASA / ASL . ^^^ |
