Baseline and outcome data were collected through the medical records system, with the primary endpoint being in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Patients were divided into MACE and non-MACE groups based on the occurrence of in-hospital MACE. Coronary angiography was performed in 154\/158 patients, all achieving post-procedural TIMI 3 flow. Multivariable logistic regression using Firth penalized likelihood with\n                      <jats:italic>a priori<\/jats:italic>\n                      -selected variables (LVEF, serum uric acid, age) was used to identify independent predictors of MACE.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 166 young patients initially screened, 158 were included in the final analysis after excluding 8 due to incomplete data. Among these, 27 (17.1%) experienced in-hospital MACE. Patients in the MACE group had a lower prevalence of diabetes (0.00% vs. 19.08%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.008), lower admission blood pressure and worse left ventricular dysfunction [lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), larger left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD)]. Single-vessel disease was the most common (38.96%), with 83.77% of patients having involvement of the left anterior descending artery. The proportion of left main disease was higher in the MACE group (15.38% vs. 3.91%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.045).
