Association between time-dependent ferritin and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular or sepsis-related mortality in patients with C-reactive protein <0.5 mg/dL and ≧0.5 mg/dL during follow-up using time-dependent Cox proportional hazards models.

Shown for each model are estimated HRs for the linear component of the non-linear P-spline and HRs for ferritin measurements per 100 ng/mL increase.* Adjusted for age, sex, diabetes mellitus and time-dependent albumin and hemoglobin.** Cardiovascular or sepsis mortality: myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, sudden death, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, sepsis.Association between time-dependent ferritin and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular or sepsis-related mortality in patients with C-reactive protein
