Comparison of the cumulative survival rate between patients with and without MPI screening. a Patients with MPI screening showed a significantly higher survival rate for all-cause mortality (blue line) compared with patients without the screening (red line) (p < 0.001, log-rank test). b A significantly higher survival rate for cardiac death was also observed in patients with MPI screening (blue line) than in patients without screening (red line) (p = 0.021, log-rank test). The blue and red dotted lines indicate the propensity score-adjusted survival curves for each patient group of the same color. Even after adjusting the propensity score, higher survival rates remained for all-cause mortality (a) and cardiac death (b)
