  • Evaluated the relationship between smoking cessation and all-cause mortality risk.
  • Analysis was consistent across demographics such as age and sex.
  • Quitting smoking significantly reduces the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CHD.
  • Risk reduction was observed consistently across various factors including age and sex.
  • The findings emphasize the critical importance of smoking cessation in managing CHD.

Quitting smoking is associated with a substantial reduction in risk of all-cause mortality among patients with CHD. This risk reduction appears to be consistent regardless of age, sex, index cardiac event, country, and year of study commencement.
