Values were presented as n (%). The unadjusted RD is the crude value. The adjusted RD including group and logit-transformed propensity scores was assessed using the regression formula.
CI: confidence interval; CVD: cardiovascular diseases; RD: risk difference; VATS: video-assisted thoracic surgery.
