Figure 1 Unadjusted Rates of the Combined Primary End Point
Unadjusted rates of myocardial injury or ischemic heart disease (IHD) hospitalization (n = 3,982) and the secondary end point, all-cause mortality (n = 4,188), at 1 year after the index low-density lipoprotein cholesterol date are shown. In univariate analysis, an inverse relationship was shown between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and admission for IHD, whereas a U-shaped relationship was observed between HDL-C and the risk of overall mortality at 1 year. p = 0.001 for myocardial injury or IHD hospitalization; p = 0.01 for total mortality. Q1 to Q4 = HDL-C quartiles 1 to 4.
