Figure Legend:
Selected hospital outcomes and postdischarge to 6-month mortality. Unadjusted P<.001 across the 3 groups for all outcomes. RCT indicates randomized clinical trial. Reported P values adjusted for variables in the GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) risk model plus reperfusion and delay from symptom onset to arrival at the hospital.

Figure Legend:
Crude and adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for hospital death comparing eligible patients vs randomized clinical trial (RCT) participants. *Adjusted for GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) risk score, use and type of reperfusion (primary percutaneous coronary intervention only, fibrinolytic only, both, or neither), and delay from symptom onset to hospital admission (<2, 2-5.9, and ≥6 hours); P = .38 for reperfusion by trial type interaction in eligible patients vs RCT participants. †Adjusted for the GRACE risk score.
