Table 2.

Hazard ratios and 95% CI (adjusted for matching) for death and hospitalizations by diuretic use in the matched cohort

	Unadjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)	Adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)^a
Mortality due to all causes	1.31 (1.11−1.55); P = 0.002	1.32 (1.09−1.60); P = 0.004
Mortality due to heart failure	1.36 (0.99−1.87); P = 0.056	1.41 (0.99−2.01); P = 0.055
Hospitalization due to all causes	1.15 (1.02−1.29); P = 0.023	1.16 (1.03−1.30); P = 0.017
Hospitalization due to heart failure	1.37 (1.13−1.65); P = 0.001	1.57 (1.25−1.96); P < 0.0001

Adjusted for all baseline covariates in Table 1, propensity for diuretic use, and matching.
