Figure 3. Kaplan‐Meier plots for the cumulative incidence of a composite cardiovascular end point separately in the GOLD 1 and the PRISm populations.

Cumulative incidence in the PRISm subjects without CVD at baseline (A) and with CVD at baseline (B). Cumulative incidence in the GOLD 1 subjects without CVD at baseline (C) and with CVD at baseline (D). The P values in the graphs are for the log‐rank test. Cardiovascular events include coronary artery disease, stroke, heart attack, coronary artery angioplasty, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and peripheral artery disease. CVD indicates cardiovascular disease; GOLD, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease; and PRISm, preserved ratio impaired spirometry.
