a

For each case, multiple occurrences of the same diagnosis were not counted.

Age at admission for general population corresponds to age of survivor cohort at admission dependent on their age at diagnosis.

c

Total number of events does not equal to the total number of cases, as 30% of cases experienced multiple cardiovascular diagnoses.
