The presence or absence of standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in patients with myocardial infarction impacts long-term but not 30-day mortality: a UK Biobank prospective cohort study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: Prior studies reported higher early mortality after acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients without standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs), warranting further validation. We aimed to evaluate whether SMuRF-absence is associated with increased 30-day cardiovascular mortality following MI. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a population-based cohort study using UK Biobank data (n = 487 177). Incident MI cases occurring between 2006 and 2022 were identified through linkage to hospital and death registries. Standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, current smoker) were defined at baseline and continuously assessed until MI onset. Thirty-day mortality following MI was estimated using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for sociodemographic, clinical, and cardiogenomic variables, were used to estimate 30-day mortality risks. Logistic regression model was used to estimate mortality risk at 10 years post-MI. Among 15 463 patients experiencing an MI (1034 without SMuRFs), SMuRF-absence was not significantly associated with 30-day mortality (HR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.65-1.04, P = 0.103). Propensity score-matched analyses supported these findings (HR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.69-1.29, P = 0.729). Further analyses stratified by distinct time intervals (2006-2022) revealed no significant modification of this association by advancements in acute MI management. Interaction analyses indicated no significant effect modification by sex, age, socioeconomic status, or period of MI occurrence. However, extended analysis to 10 years revealed that SMuRF absence was significantly associated with lower long-term mortality (OR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.49-0.75, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In this population-based cohort, SMuRF status significantly impacted long-term but not short-term mortality following MI, indicating early survival is predominantly driven by acute-phase factors rather than baseline cardiovascular risk profiles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
