Data are expressed as mean (standard deviation) or percentage (%).

ACS acute coronary syndrome, BMI body mass index, CKD chronic kidney disease, DAPT dual antiplatelet therapy, MI myocardial infarction, P2Y12i P2Y12 inhibitor, N.A. not available.

*The report from the TWILIGHT did not provide the data stratified by treatment arm.

Only in the TICO trial, patients were divided into high-ischemic ACS vs. non-high-ischemic ACS. The definition of high-ischemic ACS included not only complex PCI but also diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease.
