a significant trendP = 0.01
When we grouped the patients according to their genotype and S-MBL above or below the median for their genotype (high/above [ n = 78], high/below [ n = 78], low/above [ n = 65], and low/below [ n = 66]), there was a significant trend among the four groups to predict survival free from cardiovascular event (log-rank test P = 0.01) ( Fig. 1 ).
