Cumulative incidence of clinical outcomes according to the levels of revascularization in DM population. The cumulative incidence of POCO at three years increased in proportion to the increase of residual SYNTAX score. Patients who had a residual SYNTAX score over a cut-off value of 7.5 was associated with a significantly higher risk of POCO at 3 years compared with those with a residual score of 0. However, this trend was not prominent for TLF at 3 years. CI, confidence interval; DM, diabetes mellitus; HR, hazard ratio; POCO, patient-oriented composite outcome; SYNTAX, Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery; TLF, target lesion failure
