Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: Plasma adiponectin levels were a mean 7.8 +/- 5.3 microg/mL (range, 1.0-25.2 microg/mL). Multiple regression analyses revealed that plasma adiponectin was positively correlated with age (r = 0.49, P = .0003) and negatively correlated with body mass index (r = -0.51, P = .0002) and systolic blood pressure (r = -0.41, P = .0059). The Cox proportional hazards model revealed that plasma adiponectin (hazard ratio, 1.30; P = .03) and critical limb ischemia (hazard ratio, 16.67; P = .047) were significant independent predictors of patient survival after a bypass operation. CONCLUSION:
