  • Per 1 ng/mL MDC, per 10 ng/mL sE-selectin, tPAI-1.

  • X2 (5)=15.69, p=0.008. Hosmer–Lemeshow's goodness-of-fit test p=0.25.

  • Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve=0.728 (0.623–0.834).

  • *Adjusted for age at the CT and exposure group. MDC, macrophage derived chemokine; sE-selectin, soluble endothelial selectin; tPAI, total plasminogen activator inhibitor.
