Text: Elevated Lp (a) levels were associated with multivariable adjusted hazard ratios for AVS of 1. 2 (95 % confidence interval [CI] : 0. 8 to 1. 7) for 22nd to 66th percentile levels (5 to 19 mg/dl), 1. 6 (95 % CI : 1. 1 to 2. 4) for 67th to 89th percentile levels (20 to 64 mg/dl), 2. 0 (95 % CI : 1. 2 to 3. 4) for 90th to 95th percentile levels (65 to 90mg/dl), and 2. 9 (95 % CI : 1. 8 to 4. 9) for levels greater than 95th percentile (> 90 mg/dl), versus levels less than the 22nd percentile (< 5 mg/dl ; trend, p < 0. 001).
