Table 3. Adjusted relative risks (as continuous) for HF hospitalization from multivariable Cox regression analysis^* (n = 390).

Biomarker	HR (95% CI)	p-value
IL-6	2.5 (1.2–5.0)	0.04
hs-CRP	1.4 (0.9–2.3)	NS
SAA	1.7 (1.0–3.0)	NS

*adjusted for age, smoking history, diabetes, and the use of statins.

HR: hazard ratio per unit (log-scale) increase, CI: confidence interval, NS: non-significant, IL-6: interleukin-6, hs-CRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein, SAA: Serum Amyloid A.
