Independent Predictors of 1-Year Ischemic Outcomes

Hazard Ratio
(95% Confidence Interval)
p Value
All-cause death
  rSS* 1.05 (1.03–1.08) <0.001
  Age (per 10-year increase) 1.44 (1.10–1.89) 0.008
  Insulin-treated diabetes 3.66 (2.04–6.57) <0.0001

Cardiac death
  rSS* 1.06 (1.03–1.10) <0.001
  Insulin-treated diabetes 4.89 (2.39–10.00) <0.0001
  Renal dysfunction 2.23 (1.09–4.55) 0.03

Myocardial infarction
  rSS* 1.02 (1.01–1.04) 0.003
  Insulin-treated diabetes 1.41 (0.94–2.10) 0.09

Unplanned revascularization for ischemia
  rSS* 1.04 (1.02–1.05) <0.001
  Age (10-year increase) 0.86 (0.78–0.96) 0.005
  Insulin-treated diabetes 1.49 (1.02–2.17) 0.04
  Baseline cardiac biomarker elevation or ST-segment deviation 0.68 (0.53–0.86) 0.002

The following variables were included in each model: 1) for all-cause death: rSS (continuous variable), age, diabetes, renal dysfunction, baseline troponin elevation, ST-segment deviation, baseline white blood count; 2) for cardiac death: rSS (continuous variable), age, diabetes, and renal dysfunction; 3) for myocardial infarction and unplanned revascularization: rSS (continuous variable), age, male, diabetes, current smoker, renal dysfunction, baseline troponin elevation, ST-segment deviation, prior myocardial infarction, prior percutaneous coronary intervention, baseline white blood count, baseline hemoglobin, and type of stent (drug-eluting stent vs. bare-metal stent).
