a

All models employed the entire study population (nā€‰=ā€‰11ā€‰138) with imputation for missing values.

b

Defined in Goff et al.7

c

Simplified Pooled Cohort Risk Equation includes age, high-density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure interaction with treatment, current smoking status, and diabetes status.

d

Model fitted on each sex stratum (male and female) and C statistics and associated 95% CIs were computed for each race stratum using bootstrapping.

e

The following SDOH variables were included in this model: Area Deprivation Index (continuous variable), low education, low income, zip code in poverty, no insurance, health professional shortage area category (indicator variables as defined in Table 1 and 2).
