  1. Score parameters (UKPDS score, Framingham score, and Agatston score) in patients with and without cardiovascular events * indicates a significant higher event rate and a significant difference in score, respectively, † indicates a significant lower event rate (p < 0.05) compared to the event rate in all patients (first row).
