  1. Significant results are highlighted in bold
  2. SD standard deviation, BMI body mass index, kg/m2 kg per square meter, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention, CABG coronary artery bypass graft
  3. *P-values are calculated using the Wald statistics, comparing a generalized linear model with and without the imputed variable, corrected for clustering of patients in PCI centers
  4. aHyperlipidemia is defined as described in patient's history or statin use before admission
