Abbreviation: SMART, secondary manifestations of arterial disease.

a

This table shows Wolbers C indices that account for the competing risk of non–athersclerotic cardiovascular disease death (Harrell C indices are shown in eTable 4 in Supplement 2).

b

C index increase corresponds to difference relative to the reference model.

c

In the primary event population, the clinical risk factors are as follows: age, sex, smoking, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), type 2 diabetes, hypertension treatment, and statin use.

d

Indicates a refitted (to our data) SMART2 risk score using a training set in the secondary event population.
