High ePVS at discharge was independently associated with high post-discharge all-cause mortality in patients with AMI.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with ePVS measured at discharge, January 2012–December 2020
- Participants
- 1,012 patients
- Exposure
- High ePVS vs low ePVS at discharge
- high-ePVSn = 365
- Outcome
- Post-discharge all-cause death

HR 1.879 (95% CI 1.343–2.629); P < 0.001
- Significantly higher rate of all-cause death in high-ePVS vs low-ePVS (log-rank)
