aIn the full model, adjustments were made for age at first insulin prescription, sex, calendar time, number of unique drugs used in the year before start of insulin and number of hospitalisations in the year before start of insulin. Days of prior OGLD use, number of days of OGLD use as of January 1998. Furthermore, when the insulin of interest was insulin glargine, adjustments were made for the use of other insulin analogues as time-dependent variables; when the insulin of interest were other insulin analogues, adjustments were made for the use of insulin glargine
bModel included a 1 year latency period: exposure was cumulated up till one year prior to the date of cancer diagnosis
IR, incidence rate; n, number of events; SU, sulfonylurea derivative
