  • *Models were adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, hyperglycaemia, Killip class, eGFR, PCI/CABG, thrombolysis/anticoagulants, onset to admission, hospital stay, and rehospitalisation for MI, stroke or heart failure.

  • †Models were adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, hyperglycaemia, Killip class, cardiac biomarkers, ST-segment elevation, eGFR, PCI/CABG, thrombolysis/anticoagulants, onset to admission, hospital stay, rehospitalisation for MI, stroke or heart failure, socioeconomic status, and residence distance from the hospital.
