By contrast, when considering absolute cell count, the intermediate (CD14 ++ /CD16 + ) monocyte subset showed detrimental association with all-cause death and the composite end-point and showed borderline significance with HF-related hospitalization, while the non-classical (CD14 + /CD16 ++ ) subset showed protective association with all-cause death and borderline significance with the composite end-point in the univariable analyses ( Table 3 ).
