Data were expressed as (%) and median (IQR). IQR: interquartile range; value, Pearson chi-square test, continuity correction test, or Fisher’s exact test; composite endpoints included MI, revascularization, rehospitalization for angina, stroke, and death from any cause; BARC: Bleeding Academic Research Consortium definition for bleeding; MI: myocardial infarction.
