Hazard ratios are for coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) with surgical ventricular reconstruction as compared with CABG alone.

For the analysis of death within 30 days after surgery, in the group that was assigned to undergo CABG alone, 490 patients were evaluated in the intention-to-treat analysis and 498 patients in the as-treated analysis; in the group that was assigned to undergo CABG with surgical ventricular reconstruction, 489 patients were evaluated in the intention-to-treat analysis and 481 patients in the as-treated analysis.

Hazard ratios and P values are not provided for subsequent procedures because of the low incidence of these events.
