*TMAO was natural-log transformed before standardization. Cause-specific hazard models were fitted using two adjustment models, unadjusted and fully adjusted. Covariates added in the fully adjusted models were age, sex, history of CAD, log transformed NT-proBPNP, eGFR and log transformed uACR. The nutritional biomarkers were tested separately from each other in the different adjustment models. All HR are given per 1 SD of the given parameter
Abbreviations: CV: cardiovascular; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated with the CKD-EPI 2009-formula; HFrH: Heart Failure requiring Hospitalization, defined as the first occurrence of acute HF leading to hospitalization and/or death; HM: Hazard model; HR: Hazard-ratio; NT-proBNP: N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide; TMA: trimethylamine; TMAO: trimethylamine N-oxide; uACR: urine albumin/creatinine ratio
