| Variable | OR | 95% CI | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (per year) | 0.963 | 0.942 – 0.983 | <0.001 |
| Stent duration (per month) | 1.028 | 1.017 – 1.041 | <0.001 |
| SES usage | 6.534 | 3.387 – 12.591 | <0.001 |
| PES usage | 3.200 | 1.584 – 6.469 | 0.001 |
| Underlying unstable lesion* | 2.387 | 1.326 – 4.302 | 0.004 |
“Underlying unstable lesion” includes ruptured plaque and thin-cap fibroatheroma.
CI = confidence interval, OR = odds ratio, PES = paclitaxel-eluting stents, SES = sirolimus-eluting stents
