The Role of Serum Adiponectin for Outcome Prediction in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Advanced Heart Failure

Table 8

Relative effect on patient outcome for individual parameters best characterizing Factor 1 versus Factor 1.

Parameter	HR	95% CI	p
APN	1.51	1.149–1.993	0.003
BNP	1.49	1.152–1.952	0.003
TNF-α	671.04	0.122–3698148	0.138
Average global strain	1.70	1.322–2.180	<0.001
Factor 1	2.61	1.437–4.727	0.0016

APN: transformed adiponectin value, BNP: transformed brain natriuretic peptide value, and TNF-α: transformed tumor necrosis factor α value.
