The Cumulative Incidence for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events According to the PM2.5Tertiles
We grouped patients based on their PM2.5 into tertiles as follows: tertile I (1.93-7.37 μg/m3), tertile II (7.37-8.59 μg/m3), and tertile III (8.59-15.96 μg/m3). The crude 10-year MACE rate for patients in tertile III for PM2.5 was significantly higher than those observed for tertile I (P < 0.001) and tertile II (P < 0.001). MACE = major adverse cardiovascular events.
