TyG triglyceride glucose, MI myocardial infarction, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval

aThe HR was examined regarding lower TyG index as reference (stratified by the optimal cutoff point of TyG index determined by ROC curve analysis)

bThe HR was examined by per 1-unit increase of TyG index

cThe multivariate analysis was performed by using Model 4 [adjusted for age, sex (female), BMI, SBP, DBP, smoking, drinking, duration of diabetes, dyslipidemia, prior MI, PCI, stroke, PVD, diagnosis (NSTEMI), TC, HDL-C, eGFR, HbA1c, LVEF, SYNTAX score, LM treatment, DCB use, complete revascularization, number of stents, DAPT at discharge, DAPT interruption in 12 months, statins at discharge, statins interruption in 12 months, oral hypoglycemic agents (metformin, alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, sulfonylurea, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor) at discharge and insulin at discharge]
