However, after including CTCS, both age and sex were no longer significant predictors in each of those models. Type of chest pain was a significant predictor of obstructive CAD, independent of other variables included in the model and independent of whether CTCS was included or not. CTCS proved to be an excellent and significant predictor of CAD with adjusted odds ratios close to 2. Apart from age and sex, most risk factors did not result in significant odds ratios which suggests that these risk factors are of minor importance in the prediction of prevalent obstructive CAD. Furthermore, the risk factors that were significant in the models without CTCS lost their significance after including CTCS.","tracks":[]}
