  1. Note: The second quartile (Q2) was selected as the reference (n = 405). Hypersensitive C-reactive protein was log-transformed
  2. Abbreviations: Q1 to Q4 lowest to highest quartile, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, CV cardiovascular
  3. a Adjusted for age and sex
  4. b Adjusted for model 1 covariates and smoking, a history of cardiovascular events, diabetes, body mass index, and systolic blood pressure
  5. c Adjusted for model 2 covariates and hemoglobin, blood platelet count, serum potassium, serum albumin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate levels
  6. d Adjusted for model 3 covariates and the use of antiplatelet agents and lipid-lowering drugs
