* With death treated as a competing risk. Adjusted for age at ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosis and year of DCIS diagnosis. Patients were censored at diagnosis of a second neoplasia treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy above the diaphragm or date of emigration. Multiple cardiovascular events per person possible. CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; ICD-10 = International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision.

† Cardiovascular death, hospital admission for cardiovascular disease, or surgical intervention for cardiovascular disease.

‡ Time at risk started at the first moment of becoming uniquely identifiable, with a minimum of 5 years after DCIS diagnosis.

§ Time at risk started 5 years after DCIS diagnosis.
