Estimated ORs and 95% CIs of MACEs in RA vs FA in studies including patients with STEMI vs studies including all patients with ACS

STEMI studies All ACS studies P
OR 95% CI OR 95% CI
Major bleeding 0.38 0.25–0.57 0.44 0.32–0.60 0.6
Access site complications 0.25 0.15–0.39 0.27 0.18–0.39 0.8
All-cause mortality 0.62 0.50–0.77 0.64 0.54–0.75 0.1
MACE 0.55 0.45–0.68 0.70 0.57–0.85 0.1

ACS, acute coronary syndrome; CI, confidence interval; FA, femoral artery access; MACE, major adverse cardiac event; OR, odds ratio; RA, radial artery access; STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
