^*The intercept for male sex in the unadjusted model was 0.418 (SE 0.002), indicating that men lost on average 41.8% of their remaining life after AMI.

^†Parameter estimates reflect average difference in life expectancy for women compared with men. For example, prior to adjustment, women lost on average 10.5% more (or 52.3% total) of their remaining life after AMI than men.

^‡Medical history covariates include history of chronic heart failure, diabetes mellitus hypertension, coronary artery disease, and smoking.

^§Clinical presentation covariates include anterior AMI, ST-segment elevation AMI, cardiac arrest, Killip class, and renal insufficiency.

^||Treatment covariates include revascularization within 30 days, fibrinolytic therapy, aspirin and beta-blockers at arrival.
