a
Hazard ratio was calculated by using stratified Cox proportional regression (stratified on sex, age group, urbanization level, and the year of index date) with cases censored if individuals died during the 5-year follow-up period.
b
Adjustment for patient's monthly income, geographic region, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and hypothyroidism.
