Associations between the Change in MIF^a (Follow-Up Level - Baseline Level) and Change in miR-451a (∆∆Ct=∆Ct _follow-up-∆Ct _baseline)

	Unadjusted			Adjusted
Variables	β	P value b	95% CI	β	P value c	95% CI
miR-451a	-0.08	<.0001	-0.10; -0.05	-0.06	<.0001	-0.09; -0.03

^aMIF was transformed with the common logarithm (log10).

^bAssociation tested by a linear regression model.
