Unadjusted Kaplan–Meier estimates for cardiac events according to first‐phase fever. A max‐BT 1–3d of 37.9°C was the optimal cut‐off value to predict future cardiac events determined by the Youden index. The high BT 1–3d group was defined as patients with a max‐BT 1–3d ≥37.9°C. Unadjusted Kaplan–Meier estimates are shown for the rate of the primary composite end point (death from cardiovascular causes, acute coronary syndrome, or heart failure) (A through D) according to the high and low max‐BT 1–3d groups. ACS indicates acute coronary syndrome; BT, body temperature; CV, cardiovascular.
