Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models for arginine derivatives associated with incident AF on the left and result from stepwise selection on the right side

Variable	Hazard Ratio	95% CI		P Value
ADMA	1.10	0.79	1.52	0.58
L-arginine	1.06	0.73	1.55	0.76
SDMA	0.96	0.83	1.11	0.56
L-arginine/ADMA	1.02	0.65	1.59	0.94
B-type natriuretic peptide	1.23	1.15	1.31	<0.0001
C-reactive protein	1.06	0.96	1.18	0.24
eGFR	1.12	0.98	1.28	0.10

Hazard ratios are per one standard deviation increase in log_e-biomarker concentration. Models included all biomarkers simultaneously and adjusted for age, sex, height, weight, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, current smoking, diabetes, hypertension treatment, myocardial infarction, and heart failure simultaneously.

CI denotes confidence interval; eGFR denotes estimated glomerular filtration rate.
