Unadjusted and adjusted effects on cardiovascular mortality.

	Crude HR (95% CI)	p-value	Adjusted HR (95% CI) *	p-Value
AST	1.21 (1.10–1.32)	<0.001	1.15 (1.00–1.33)	0.051
ALT	0.99 (0.89–1.09)	0.987	0.98 (0.85–1.33)	0.811
De-Ritis Ratio	1.31 (1.19–1.44)	<0.001	1.24 (1.08–1.44)	0.002

Cox proportional hazard model. Hazard ratios (HR) for continuous variables refer to a 1-SD increase. * The multivariate model was adjusted for: Age, male gender, body-mass index, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus type II, positive smoking status, STEMI, acute revascularization, family history in CVD, liver function failure, renal function failure, heart failure, COPD, previous AMI, maximum Troponin-T values, C-reactive protein values, Butyrylcholinesterase values, gamma-GT values, eGFR at admission, and cardiogenic shock at admission.
