Finally, as shown in Table S2, ficolin-3 remained a significant predictor of mortality in both cohorts if BMI, diabetes mellitus, haemoglobin, or creatinine (one-at-a-time) was added to model 2 of Table 3 (exceptions were haemoglobin and creatinine in the Norwegian cohort, where borderline significance was observed). Here, FCN3 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
