highly significantp < 5 × 10 –5
We identified highly significant correlation differences between incident CAD cases and controls ( p < 5 × 10 –5 ); eGFR correlated more strongly with 3-hydroxyisobutyrate ( r case-to-control = 0.29), citrate ( r case-to-control = 0.42), and glycine ( r case-to-control = 0.35), while 4-deoxyerythronic acid correlated less strongly with triglycerides ( r case-to-control = −0.35), and hypoxanthine with creatinine ( r case-to-control = −0.30) in individuals with incident CAD.
