Risk of mortality and incident cardiovascular disease after enrollment in the DD2 cohort. Incident cardiovascular disease events include acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure, coronary artery bypass grafting/percutaneous coronary intervention procedures, stroke, and cerebral thrombolysis/thrombectomy procedures. Patients were excluded from the analysis of cardiovascular disease if they had a preexisting hospital diagnosis or procedure code before baseline (N=1797). The Kaplan Meier estimator was used to depict all-cause mortality, and the Aalen-Johansen estimator was used for cardiovascular disease, taking the competing risk of death into consideration.
