CI = Confidence interval; UAE = United Arab Emirates; LDL-C = Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Renal impairment* = serum creatinine >177 µmol/L (2 mg/dL); The variables that were dropped out of the multivariable logistic regression utilizing stepwise-backwise elimination method included family history of coronary artery disease, waist circumference, coronary artery bypass graft, myocardial infarction, statin use, fibrate/niacin use, ST-elevation myocardial infarction; percutaneous coronary intervention, Killip class score; prior aspirin use, diabetes mellitus and stroke. The logistic model is statistically significant (LR χ2(14) = 797; p<0.001). The Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square statistic (a measure of the goodness-of-fit) was 10.3 and the p value was 0.244 denoting good model fit.
