Model 1: adjusted for age at MI; sex; race; calendar year of incident MI (<1995, 1995–2004, and ≥2005); history of heart failure, stroke, coronary artery bypass graft, peripheral artery disease, kidney dysfunction, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus; and current smoking at admission. Model 2a: adjusted for model 1+health insurance at baseline. Model 2b: adjusted for model 1+health insurance at admission. CI indicates confidence interval; and MI, myocardial infarction.
