Hazard ratio for major cardiovascular events

	Univariate models			Multivariate model
	HR	95% CI	p	HR	95% CI	p
Age >70 years	1.34	0.59–3.05	0.49
Female sex	0.55	0.16–1.86	0.33
Statin use	0.41	0.18–0.93	0.032	0.38	0.16–0.89	0.026
Log-transformed NT-proBNP	1.39	0.69–2.78	0.36
Pre-procedural hs-cTnI	1.08	1.02–1.14	0.008	1.08	1.01–1.16	0.024
Major PMN	3.29	1.12–9.69	0.030	3.64	1.17–11.3	0.026

Absence of satin use, preprocedural hs-cTnI, and major PMN were significantly associated with major cardiovascular events; these factors were then put into the multivariate model together with age, sex and log-transformed NT-proBNP.

NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide; hs-cTnI, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-I; PMN, procedure-related myocardial necrosis.
