Fig. 1

The smooth curve fitting showed the association between the risk of EBB-induced bleeding and plasma ApoE levels after adjusting the relative confounding factors (HDLC, smoking, location of lesion, histological types, stage, and CRP), and factors considered to be clinically relevant, which include sex, age, SBP, DBP, TC, triglyceride, LDLC, diabetes, hypertension, COPD, CHD, ALT, and AST. Dotted lines represented the upper and lower 95% confidence intervals. EBB = endobronchial biopsy; ApoE = apolipoprotein E; HDLC = high density lipoprotein cholesterol; CRP = C-reactive protein; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; TC = total cholesterol; LDLC = low density lipoprotein cholesterol; COPD = Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CHD = coronary heart disease; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase
