M118: Kaplan-Meier Plot of Primary Endpoint in EMINENCE Study
Note: the y-axis is the probability of averting a bad outcome; thus, higher numbers are better in this graph.
The primary endpoint in the EMINENCE study was the mathematical set union operation applied to these seven binary variables:
• Death during the 30 days post PCI procedure; • Non-fatal MI during the 30 days post PCI procedure; • Non-fatal stroke during the 30 days post PCI procedure; • Repeat PCI during the 30 days post PCI procedure; • Major bleeding during the 24 hours post PCI procedure; • Thrombocytopenia during the 24 hours post PCI procedure; and • Bailout use of a GP IIb/IIIa antiplatelet drug during the PCI procedure.
