  1. EMP Endothelial microparticle, s-Fractalkine Soluble fractalkine
  2. Variables introduced into this multivariate model were selected after univariate analysis (P < 0.2). The final model was established after stepwise backward elimination of non-significant variables (i.e., age, body mass index, creatinine, C-reactive protein, colony-forming unit-endothelial cells, CD34+ progenitor cells, CD34+CD45− endothelial progenitor cells and vascular endothelial growth factor). Independent variables associated with systemic sclerosis with an adjusted P < 0.05 were conserved
