Hazard ratios (HR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI), of the risk of composite outcome (cardiovascular hospitalization or death) associated with exposure to out-of-hospital healthcare, stratified by sex. The third cohort was considered (see text).

	Men	Women	p-Value *
Out-of-hospital healthcare †
Drug therapies	0.80 (0.75–0.85)	0.85 (0.79–0.92)	0.21
Cardiac controls	0.85 (0.79–0.91)	0.81 (0.76–0.87)	0.35
Cardiac rehabilitation	0.81 (0.67–0.97)	0.65 (0.48–0.87)	0.23

^† Patients were considered exposed to dispensed drugs if they adhered to at least 3 out of 4 drug therapies; patients were considered exposed to cardiac controls if they underwent at least 2 out of 3 services. * Test for heterogeneity was considered.
