Forward Wald method was used in the multivariate logistic analysis. ACS: acute coronary syndrome; OR: relative risk; CI: confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide; cTnT: cardiac troponin T; CK-MB: creatine kinase MB; hs-CRP: hypersensitive C-reactive protein; PGRN: progranulin; EphA2: Eph-receptor tyrosine kinase-type A2; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction. EphA2 was divided into <116.32 pg/mL and ≥ 116.32 pg/mL according to the median.
