a
Values are means (SDs) for continuous variables and counts (%) for categorical variables. Values of polytomous variables may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
b
NHB: non-Hispanic Black.
c
NHW: non-Hispanic White.
d
P values are based on the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test or Pearson chi-square test, as appropriate.
e
COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
f
HFpEF: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
g
ICD and/or CRT-D: implantable cardioverter defibrillator and/or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator within 4 years before the index date.
