Adjusted all-cause mortality. Top, Age- and sex-adjusted all-cause mortality stratified according to the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level. Bottom, Respective estimates after multivariable adjustment using stepwise regression in a Cox proportional hazard model. All baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were entered into the model with a retention P value of 0.20. Besides the HbA1c category, the variables included in the final model were age, race, acute coronary syndrome, heart rate on presentation, systolic blood pressure on presentation, history of cerebrovascular accident, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal failure, peripheral vascular occlusive disease, hypertension, family history of coronary artery disease, left main trunk disease, calcification, use of drug-eluting stent, and final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow <3. CI indicates confidence interval; and HR, hazard ratio.

The figure demonstrates independent predictors of all-cause mortality derived from the multivariable Cox proportional hazard modeling, using backward stepwise elimination at a retention P value of 0.20. BP indicates blood pressure; CI, confidence interval; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; DES, drug-eluting stent; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; HR, hazard ratio; LMT, left main trunk; PVD, peripheral vascular disease; and TIMI, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction.
Adjusted hazard of death among (A) noninsulin and (B) insulin users stratified by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) category. CI indicates confidence interval; and HR, hazard ratio.
