Table 1. Kaplan-Meier estimates of pooled ischaemic and bleeding event rates in the five included studies.
Variable | Number of events | Rate | p-value (0-1 vs 1-3 years) | |
Myocardial infarction | 0-1 year | 150 | 5.1% | 0.01 |
1-3 years | 102 | 3.6% | ||
0-3 years | 238 | 8.2% | ||
Scaffold thrombosis | 0-1 year | 36 | 1.2% | 0.80 |
1-3 years | 31 | 1.1% | ||
0-3 years | 67 | 2.3% | ||
Bleeding | 0-1 year | 25 | 0.8% | 0.15 |
1-3 years | 29 | 1.0% | ||
0-3 years | 53 | 1.8% | ||
Death | 0-1 year | 25 | 0.8% | <0.0001 |
1-3 years | 57 | 2.0% | ||
0-3 years | 82 | 2.9% | ||
Landmark analysis: patients can have events (except death) in both time periods (0-1 year and 1-3 years), which explains why the sum of the numbers of events (and incidence rates) for the two periods can be greater than the total between 0 and 3 years. |
