Panel A: incidence of the in-hospital combined clinical endpoint (death, cardiogenic shock, and acute pulmonary edema) in patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) and adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) associated with DM. Panel B: Kaplan–Meier survival curves stratified by DM status and adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI associated with DM. Panel C: incidence of the in-hospital combined clinical endpoint (death, cardiogenic shock, and acute pulmonary edema) in patients with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) ≥ and < 2 mg/L and adjusted OR and 95% CI associated with a hs-CRP value ≥ 2 mg/L. Panel D: Kaplan–Meier survival curves stratified by hs-CRP cut-off value (2 mg/L) and adjusted HR and 95% CI associated with a hs-CRP value ≥ 2 mg/L. All analyses were adjusted for left ventricular ejection fraction (≤ or > 40%), estimated glomerular filtration rate (≤ or > 60 ml/min/1.73 m²), type of acute myocardial infarction (STEMI vs. NSTEMI) and prior statin use
