Table 2. Hazard ratios for all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality across tertiles of fibrinogen.

	All-cause mortality		Cardiac mortality
Fibrinogen, g/L	HR (95% CI) Unadjusted	HR (95% CI) Adjusted*	HR (95% CI) Unadjusted	HR (95% CI) Adjusted*
Tertile 1	1	1	1	1
Tertile 2	1.66 (1.17-2.37)	1.62 (0.94-2.79)	1.39 (0.97-1.99)	1.40 (0.73-2.69)
Tertile 3	1.96 (1.39-2.77)	1.83 (1.09-3.08)	1.47(1.03-2.10)	1.28 (0.67-2.45)

^*Risk factors adjustment included age, sex, medical history (pre-hypertension and pre-diabetes mellitus), admission examination (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate), heart function (Killip level), admission lab test (blood glucose, total cholesterol, and serum creatinine), severity of CAD (left main artery and three vessel diseases), discharge medication (aspirin, clopidogrel, statin, ACE inhibitors or ARBs and beta-receptor blockers).

Abbreviations: HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; CAD, coronary artery disease; ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARBs, angiotensin-receptor blockers.
