HR indicates hazard ratio; and PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.

*

Age was truncated below 50 years.

Hemoglobin was truncated above 120 g/L and below 100 g/L.

Anemia is hemoglobin <120 g/L for women and <130 g/L for men.

§

Creatinine clearance was truncated above 100 mL/min per 1.73 m2.

Kidney dysfunction is creatinine clearance <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2.

Clopidogrel was used as reference.
