Plots of estimated HRs for VTE as a function of maximum time from blood sampling in HUNT 3 (2006-2008) to thrombotic events. All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, sample batch, body mass index, C-reactive protein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Participants with BGAT plasma levels in the highest quartile (quartile 4 [Q4]) were compared with those with BGAT in the lowest quartile (quartile 1 [Q1]; reference [ref] category). Large, solid blue circles indicate HRs with P < .05. The number of VTE events in the analysis for a given maximum study time are depicted above the plot.
