Fig 3. Competing risk curves depict the cumulative probability of time to death for participants with T2DM and PAD stratified by PAD severity.
(A) The left panel shows the probabilities of CVD mortality. Patients with CLI had the highest event rates compared to the other groups (p < .05). However, the rate of CVD mortality did not significantly differ between those with IC and asymptomatic PAD (p = .37). (B) The right panel shows the competing risk event, i.e., other causes of death occurring before the CVD mortality. There was no significant difference in the non-CVD mortality rates among the three groups of participants.
