Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Percent standardized differences between DES and BMS patients for selected pre-stent characteristics stratified by type of characteristic. Open diamonds denote mean standardized difference for 17,726 patients; filled squares denote mean standardized differences for 3,752 matched pairs. HMO = health maintenance organization; ACS = acute coronary syndrome; NYHA = New York Heart Association; CCS = Canadian Classification System; EF = ejection fraction; LCX = left circumflex; LM = left main; RCA = right coronary artery.

Figure 2
Distribution of selected covariates for DES and BMS patients (17,726 patients). X-axis is the value of the covariate and y-axis is a density estimate that reflects the proportion of the DES (dashed lines) and BMS (solid lines) groups having the particular values of the covariate. ACS = acute coronary syndrome.
