Cumulative survival curves during the follow-up period for patients grouped accordingly to the AGE levels at 1 month of discharge (AGE_1m) by the cut-off point of 40 a.u. (a) or by the cut-off point of 1000 pg/mL of basal sRAGE (sRAGE₀) concentration (b). Survival was considered free of death or HF readmission.
