Cox proportional hazards models of biomarkers of inflammation with incident VTE (per SD increment)

Biomarker Model 1(HR, 95% CI) Model 2(HR, 95% CI) Model 3(HR, 95% CI)
lnCRP (per 1.18) 1.34 (1.18, 1.52) 1.26 (1.10, 1.44) 1.25 (1.09, 1.43)
Albumin (per 0.33 g/dL) 1.29 (1.09, 1.51) 1.24 (1.05, 1.47) 1.25 (1.06, 1.48)
White Cell Count(per 2.8 ×109 cells/L) 1.00 (0.87, 1.17) 0.98 (0.79, 1.23) 1.00 (0.83, 1.21)
Platelet Count(per 69.0 ×109 cells/L) 1.03 (0.87, 1.22) 1.07 (0.90, 1.26) 1.05 (0.88, 1.25)

Biomarkers were modeled per standard deviation (SD) (shown in parentheses) higher for lnCRP, white cell count, and platelet count, and per SD lower serum albumin.

Model 1: Age, sex, race, region, race*region interaction.

Model 2: Model 1 + body mass index, smoking, hypertension.

Model 3: Model 2 + diabetes, and history of coronary heart disease or stroke.
