Multivariate analysis of independent predictors of MACE at 12 months (Cox proportional hazard).

	Risk ratio	95% confidence interval	value
Age ≥ 75	1.9	1.49–2.49	<0.0001
Female versus male	1.1	0.80–1.40	0.66
TFA versus TRA	1.8	1.33–2.48	<0.0001
Prior PCI	1.6	1.19–2.04	0.0013
Cardiogenic shock	3.3	2.19–4.88	<0.0001
Cardiac arrest	3.0	1.73–4.89	0.0002
DES versus BMS	0.6	0.47–0.77	<0.0001
Two-to-three vessel disease	1.7	1.33–2.17	<0.0001

Statistically significant (). TFA = transfemoral artery access. TRA = transradial artery access. PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention. DES = drug eluting stent. BMS = bare metal stent.
