  • *Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate) and left ventricular ejection fraction.

  • †Model 2 was adjusted for all variables in model 1, and also body mass index, hypertension, pulmonary disease, peripheral vascular disease, smoking, prior myocardial infarction, prior percutaneous coronary intervention and prior stroke.

  • CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; n, number of patients; ref, reference category.
