Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for serum inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers according to baseline TSAT concentrations (Logistic regression analysis).

*hs-CRP was adjusted for Charlson Comorbidity Index, subjective global assessment score, smoking status, hemoglobin, serum calcium, glucose, albumin, and sodium concentrations, and log transformed ferritin.*NT-proBNP was adjusted for diastolic blood pressure, underlying diabetes and cardiac disease, hemoglobin, serum glucose, albumin, creatinine, and sodium levels, log transformed high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, log transformed ferritin, log transformed troponin-T, and usage of renin-angiotensin system blockers, diuretics, and beta blockers.*Troponin-T was adjusted for sex, systolic blood pressure, underlying diabetes and cardiac disease, subjective global assessment score, hemoglobin, serum calcium, glucose, and albumin concentrations, log transformed high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, log transformed ferritin, log transformed 24-hr urine volume, left atrial dimension, left ventricular mass index, left ventricular ejection fraction, and usage of diuretics and nitrate.Abbreviations: hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide; TSAT, transferrin saturation; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
