Set of variables included initially in model 1: log2(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylglycol sulfate, log2(hexanoylcarnitine), log2(L-Saccharopine), log2(N-Acetyl-aspartil-glutamate), log2(p-Hydroxyphenyllactic acid), log2(D-Galacturonic acid), log2(N-Acetyl-L-alanine), log2(butyrylcarnitine), log2(cystathionine), log2(octanoylcarnitine) and age. Model 2 also included creatinine, bilirubin, INR and white cell count.

*P value <0.01 compared with the metabolomic model 1 for differences larger than 0.05.

†P value <0.01 compared with the metabolomic model 2 for differences larger than 0.05.
