Figure 2 Predictors of MACCE
Hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) up to 2-year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (Cox proportional hazard model). CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; revasc. = revascularization; UA/NSTEMI = unstable angina/non–ST-segment myocardial infarction.

Figure 3 Cumulative MACCE-Free Survival in Patients With/Without UA/NSTEMI and Age >70 yrs
(A) MACCE-free survival in UA/NSTEMI. Two-year survival Kaplan-Meier estimates of MACCE-free survival in patients with UA/NSTEMI or stable angina (SA). (B) MACCE-free survival age >70 years. Two-year survival Kaplan-Meier estimates of MACCE-free survival in patients age 70 years. Probability values are calculated with log-rank tests at the time points of clinical controls. Abbreviations as in Figure 2.

Figure 4 Cumulative MACCE-Free Survival in Patients With/Without DM and Previous PCI
(A) MACCE-free survival in diabetes mellitus (DM). Two-year survival Kaplan-Meier estimates of MACCE-free survival in patients with or without DM. (B) MACCE-free survival in post-PCI patients. Two-year survival Kaplan-Meier estimates of MACCE-free survival in patients with PCI. Probability values are calculated with log-rank tests at the time points of clinical controls. Abbreviations as in Figure 2.

Figure 5 Cumulative AMI and/or Death-Free Survival in Patients With/Without UA/NSTEMI and Incomplete Revascularization
(A) Death or acute myocardial infarction (AMI)-free survival in UA/NSTEMI. Two-year survival Kaplan-Meier estimates of death or AMI-free survival in patients with UA/NSTEMI or SA. (B) Death or AMI-free survival in complete revascularization (R). Two-year survival Kaplan-Meier estimates of death or AMI-free survival in complete R versus incomplete R. Probability values are calculated with log-rank tests at the time points of clinical controls. Abbreviations as in Figures 2 and 3.
