The first 2 rows present models for age and sex separately, with no adjustment for the other variable. Age and sex were forced into all other models. Continuous variables were standardized to mean of 0 and SD of 1, and all categorical variables were coded 1=presence and 0=absence of factor. CRP indicates C‐reactive protein; HDL, high‐density lipoprotein; HMG‐CoA RIs, hydroxymethylglutaryl‐CoA reductase inhibitors; RHI, reactive hyperemia‐peripheral arterial tonometry index; RH‐PAT, reactive hyperemia‐peripheral arterial tonometry; SE, standard error; SYNTAXsc, Synergy Between PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery score.
