The primary outcome long-term mortality and secondary endpoints mainly major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were recorded. Multivariate Cox regression models were used to determine risk factors for mortality and MACCEs.Results: The ABIC score was significantly higher in the death group than in the survival group. After adjusting for other CAD risk factors, the ABIC score was identified to be an independent risk factor for long-term mortality by multivariate Cox analysis. When in the high ABIC group, the incidence of all-cause mortality would increased 1.7 times (adjusted HR=1.729 (1.347– 2.218), P< 0.001), and 1.5 times for cardiac death (adjusted HR=1.482 (1.126– 1.951), P=0.005).Conclusion: The present study indicated that ABIC score≥ 7.985 predicts high long-term mortality and cardiac death risk for PCI patients. The ABIC score might be a potential prognostic model for patients with PCI.Keywords: age–bilirubin–international normalized ratio–creatinine score, ABIC score, coronary artery disease, mortality, prognosis
