SIR, Standardized incidence ratio; CI, Confidence interval. For the calculation of SIRs, data on the occurrence of cardiac events in the general Swedish population were obtained from the national inpatient hospital registry.

¹Observed events; the number of observed events in our cohort.

²Expected events; the number of events that occurred in the age and gender matched group of the general population.

³All events occurring after liver transplantation until death or end of follow-up.

⁴All events occurring after the immediate inpatient post-transplant period.
