Atherogenic index of plasma and cardiovascular outcomes in female patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: insights from a retrospective cohort study by Yan Jiang

“…This study found that there was an association between MACCEs and age (p < 0.001), heart failure history (p < 0.001), previous AMI (p = 0.013), and diabetes mellitus(p = 0.002), LVEF (p < 0.001), DBP (p = 0.027), creatinine (p = 0.002), UA (p = 0.021), ACEI treatment (p = 0.003), number of diseased vessels, target lesion location, CTO (p < 0.001), stent length (p < 0.001), and stent diameter (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that AIP was an independent prognostic factor for MACCE in female patients (OR = 2.45, 95%CI = 1.17 ~ 5.11, p = 0.018) but not in male patients. …”
