After adjusting for age, sex, traditional cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia), eGFR, CRP and high-sensitivity troponin T levels at admission, we observed that higher IP-10 remained an independent predictor of lower incidence of MACE in STEMI patients (adjusted HR=0.420 for highest vs lower quarters, 95% CI: [0.218-0.808], p=0.009; Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and diabetes mellitus.
