Cumulative incidence of ATE accounting for competing risk (i.e. death and VTE) according to sP‐selectin levels. The optimal cutoff was determined using Youden′s index. After adjusting for age, sex, and smoking, patients with sP‐selectin levels above the cutoff (>46.3 ng/mL) had a higher risk of ATE than patients with levels below the cutoff. Note the scaling of the y‐axis from 0% to 10% of ATE risk. sP‐selectin levels were available in 1875 patients and missing in 8 patients. adj.
