*P < 0.05; **P < 0.001

aIncidence rate was calculated using the total number of deaths during the observational period divided by person-years at risk

bModel 1 included age and sex

cModel 2 included age, sex, current smoker, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, CKD, HF, and MI), STEMI, Killip > I, primary PCI, peak TnT, CRP, serum creatinine, LVEF, as well as medications (aspirin, ACEI/ARB/ARNI, β-blocker)

CKD chronic kidney disease, CRP C-reactive protein, HF heart failure, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention, SII systemic immune-inflammation index

The bold value represents the statistical significance of 'P for trend' (P for trend<0.05) in the fully-adjusted model
