Table III.

Detailed end point definition

Primary end points
30-d MACCE:
 Cardiac death
 Myocardial re-infarction
 Emergency coronary revascularization, including PCI, thrombolysis, and CABG
 Stroke
Secondary end points
1. Each component of the primary end point
2. 30-d severe STEMI complications:
 Cardiogenic shock (Killip IV)
 Acute left heart failure (Killip II, III)
 Mechanical complications: including interventricular septum perforation, papillary muscle dysfunction, ruptured left ventricular free walls
 Malignant arrhythmia: including ventricular fibrillation, ventricular flutter, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular premature contraction (frequent, polymorphic, multifocal, or R on T)
3. BARC type III and V major bleeding:
 BARC IIIa: overt bleeding with hemoglobin drop of 3 to <5 g/dL or any transfusion with overt bleeding
 BARC IIIb: overt bleeding with hemoglobin drop >5 g/dL, cardiac tamponade, bleeding that requires surgical intervention to control (excluding dental, nasal, skin, or hemorrhoid), or bleeding that requires intravenous vasoactive agents
 BARC IIIc: intracranial hemorrhage (including intraspinal bleeding, excluding microbleeds or hemorrhagic transformation), subcategories confirmed by autopsy/imaging/lumbar puncture, or intraocular bleeding comprising vision
 BARC V: fatal bleeding
4. 1-y MACCE
 Cardiac death
 Myocardial reinfarction
 Emergency coronary revascularization, including PCI, thrombolysis, and CABG
 Stroke
5. 1-y rehospitalization due to heart failure
6. 1-y all-cause death
7. In-stent thrombosis:
 Acute: <24 h
 Subacute: 1-30 d
 Late: 1-12 m
8. ECG evaluation of myocardial reperfusion and no-reflow: ST-segment resolution and occurrence of no-reflow in ECG at 2 h, 24 h, and 7 d after revascularization therapy

CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting.
