* p-values are for non-inferiority of an iFR-guided strategy versus an FFR-guided strategy with respect to 1-year MACE rates; pre-specified
non-inferiority margins were 3.4% and 3.2% in DEFINE FLAIR and iFR Swedeheart, respectively
0.89 dichotomous cut-point, backed by data 1,2,4
Both DEFINE FLAIR and iFR Swedeheart used a dichotomous 0.89 cut-point in their protocols to assess patient outcomes. By using a 0.89 cut-point, as validated in one year outcomes from more than 4500 patients, physicians can feel confident in simplifying their clinical decision-making strategy.
