  2. Model 2: Model 1 + HbA1c, HDL-C, Lipoprotein(a), initial GS, baseline statins, and β blocker used
  3. #Owing to its clinical importance, baseline LDL-C level was additionally included when adjusting for confounding factors in Model 2 to assess the performance of baseline apoB in predicting AP.
