Association of inflammatory biomarkers with LV mass index in the total study population.

	Univariable		Model 1 a		Model 2 b		Model 3 c
	β	p	β	p	β	p	β	p
SAA, µg/ml	0.16	.05	0.17	.04	0.13	.09	0.18	.02
CRP, µg/ml	0.07	.41	0.06	.44	0.04	.61	0.06	.48
Neopterin, nmol/L	0.03	.69	0.01	.86	0.08	.29	0.11	.17
KTR, nmol/µmol	0.18	.03	0.20	.02	0.19	.01	0.20	.02
PAr index	0.26	.002	0.27	.001	0.26	.001	0.26	.002

The association between each inflammatory marker and LV mass index was tested in separate multivariable models adjusted for ^aage and sex; ^bage, sex, psoriasis, body mass index, hypertension; ^cage, sex, psoriasis, body mass index, hypertension, smoking, kidney function.

CRP: C-reactive protein; KTR: kynurenine:tryptophan ratio; LV: left ventricular; PAr: pyridoxic acid ratio; SAA: serum amyloid A.
