Risk Factors Associated With Major Cardiovascular Events 1 Year After Acute Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Patients who survive acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of subsequent major cardiovascular events. Efforts to identify risk factors for recurrence have primarily focused on the period immediately following AMI admission.

Objectives

To identify risk factors and develop and evaluate a risk model that predicts 1-year cardiovascular events after AMI.

Design, setting, and participants

Prospective cohort study. Patients with AMI (n = 4227), aged 18 years or older, discharged alive from 53 acute-care hospitals across China from January 1, 2013, to July 17, 2014. Patients were randomly divided into samples: training (50% [2113 patients]), test (25% [1057 patients]), and validation (25% [1057 patients]). Risk factors were identified by a Cox model wi
