Results Median soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor levels were 10,521 pg/ml
(interquartile range, 9105–12,543 pg/ml). When stratified by tertiles, patients with soluble
urokinase plasminogen activator receptor> 11,633 pg/ml (third tertile) had adjusted 1.6-fold
higher mortality (hazard ratio, 1.60; 95% confidence interval, 1.27 to 2.03) compared with
those with low soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor< 9599 pg/ml (first tertile).
Risks of sudden death and stroke were higher (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.98; 95% confidence …
