TVR and TLR after excluding lesions with a revascularisation event or follow-up less than 1 year post PCI

RA (n=184) vs control (n=522)
TLR
 Unadjusted1.79 (95% CI 1.22 to 2.6)
 Adjusted*1.48 (95% CI 1.03 to 2.13)
TVR
 Unadjusted1.45 (95% CI 0.96 to 2.18)
 Adjusted*1.55 (95% CI 1.12 to 2.14)
  • *Adjusted for stent length, overlapping stents, bifurcation stenting, bare metal stent use and intervention on saphenous vein graft in Cox proportional hazards model.

  • PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; TLR, target lesion revascularisation; TVR, target vessel revascularisation.
