Baseline Characteristics of The Patient Population.
<p>Baseline Characteristics of The Patient Population.</p
Results of the MMPs and TIMPs serum levels.
<p>Only MMP-9 serum level was significantly higher in patients with new-EE compared to controls and patients with no new-EE. Medians and interquartile ranges are shown.</p
Predictors of New-EE by Multivariable Analysis.
<p>OR = odds ratio; SD = standard deviation; CI = confidence interval.</p
Flow chart showing enrollment of study patients.
<p>Flow chart showing enrollment of study patients.</p
Receiver Operating Characteristic curves analysis using vegetation length and MMP-9 serum level as predictors of new-EE.
<p>The area under de curves are given with their 95% confidence interval.</p
Gelatinolytic activity of MMP-9 (92 kDa) evaluated by in-gel zymography.
<p><b>A</b>: Gelatinolytic activity is greater in New-EE patients. <b>B</b>: Densitometric analysis of the values of gelatinase activity expressed as arbitrary units (AR). Results are given as means ±SEM. *p<0.0001 <i>vs.</i> Controls; †p = 0.05 versus No new-EE patients.</p
