Text: In multivariable analyses, including C-reactive protein, IL-6, troponin T, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, elevated soluble gp130 (fifth quintile versus all lower quintiles) was associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 1. 47 [1. 11-1. 93] ; P = 0. 006), cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio, 1. 38 [1. 01-1. 87] ; P = 0. 042), and death from worsening HF (hazard ratio, 1. 85 [1. 09-3. 14] ; P = 0. 002), but not with the primary end point (composite of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke ; hazard ratio, 1. 12 [0. 84-1. 50] ; P = 0. 44).
