The following transformations were applied to specific variables in the model: diastolic blood pressure was transformed using a first-degree polynomial (^–0.5), rescaled, and centred ([diastolic blood pressure/1000]^–0.5) – 3.472411. Age was centred = age – 59.40057. Systolic blood pressure was centred = systolic blood pressure – 143.47. The electronic frailty index was rescaled = (frailty index/0.1). Cholesterol was log transformed and centred = ln(cholesterol) – 1.670416.

SHR per deficit: 1.072 (95% CI = 1.068 to 1.076).

ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme. AKI = acute kidney injury. IMD = Index of Multiple Deprivation. SHR = subdistribution hazard ratio.
