Multivariate‐adjusted stratified analyses on associations of vascular endothelial growth factor‐C with the risk of all‐cause death. The multivariable‐adjusted hazard ratios (95% CIs) of VEGF‐C levels for all‐cause death are plotted for the entire cohort and according to strata of baseline covariates. Data were adjusted for age, sex, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, current smoker, obesity, chronic kidney disease, previous cardiovascular events, coronary artery disease, multivessel or left main trunk disease, statin use, aspirin use, and anti‐hypertensive drug use. CI indicates confidence interval; LMT left main trunk; NYHA, New York Heart Association; VEGF‐C, vascular endothelial growth factor‐C.
