The findings of Cox multivariable survival analysis for the primary composite outcome, in the subgroup excluding patients with documented obstructive coronary artery disease, were similar as follows (total n=2046, number of primary composite events=210): Age (for every 10‐year increase, HR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.42, 1.90, P <0.001) and Class I indication versus earlier surgery (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.18, 2.46, P <0.001) were associated with increased longer‐term primary composite events, while female sex was only borderline significant (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 0.94, 1.73, P =0.089).
