Multivariable Associations With 6-Month Iron Status (Resolved or Persisting) (n = 74) at 6 Months Post-STEMI in Logistic Regression Analysis^∗

Multivariable Associations	Odds Ratio (95% CI)†	p Value
Patients’ characteristics and angiographic data
Heart rate, beats/min	1.08 (1.02–1.14)	0.009
Hypertension	0.12 (0.02–0.68)	0.017
Patients’ characteristics, angiographic data, and infarct size‡
Heart rate, beats/min	1.08 (1.01–1.16)	0.020
Hypertension	0.10 (0.01–0.67)	0.018
Infarct size, % LV mass	1.10 (1.01–1.20)	0.028

CI = confidence interval; other abbreviations as in Tables 1 and 2.

^∗Only statistically significant variables are reported. All variables included in the model are described in the Online Appendix.

^†The odds ratio (95% CIs) indicates odds of persisting iron at 6 months given exposure to the independent variable.

^‡Similar results were obtained when myocardial edema was included instead of infarct size.
