The fold point of the circulating fibrinogen level for the association was 2.9\u2009g\/L. When fibrinogen levels were less than 2.9\u2009g\/L, an increase in fibrinogen contributed to a statistically significantly reduced risk of PSE events (odds ratio, 0.1 [95% CI, 0.1-0.2]; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). In contrast, when fibrinogen levels were higher than 2.9\u2009g\/L, an increase in fibrinogen level was related to a higher risk of PSE events (odds ratio, 1.4 [95% CI, 1.2-1.7];
