Statistical significance is indicated by bold values (p < 0.05). Hazard ratios and confidence intervals are presented for each outcome.

Model A adjust for: None

Model B adjust for: Age; Sex

Model C adjust for: Age; Sex; Body mass index; Current smoker; Hyperlipidemia; Hypertension; Atrial fibrillation; Renal dysfunction; PCI; Stroke; NYHA class; NT-proBNP; COPD; Anaemia; Hyperuricaemia

Abbreviation: CI = confidence interval; Other abbreviations can be found in Table 1.

Table Notes:

1. All-cause Death (Ischemic): Patients with T2DM show a significantly higher risk of all-cause death compared to those without T2DM (p = 0.001), with hazard ratios ranging from 1.4 to 1.7 across different models.

2. Cardiovascular Events (Ischemic): T2DM is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in ischemic HFmrEF patients, with hazard ratios ranging from 1.2 to 1.3 (p < 0.05).

3. All-cause Death (Non-ischemic): No significant association between T2DM and all-cause death in non-ischemic HFmrEF patients (p = 0.486).

4. Cardiovascular Events (Non-ischemic): No significant difference in cardiovascular events between T2DM and non-T2DM groups in non-ischemic HFmrEF patients (p = 0.433)
