Afib, atrial fibrillation; TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone; FT4, free thyroxine; TT3, total triiodothyronine

One-way ANOVA was performed using log transformed values of each thyroid function test in separate models. See Supplement Table 2 for results of adjusted binary logistic regression analyses
