Events of all participants

Events	Entire Cohort (n=478)	△HS<7% (n=239)	△HS≥7% (n=239)	P Value
Patient-yr of follow-up	763.5	434.4	329.1	<0.001
Combined outcomes per 100 patient-yr (95% CI)	8.6 (6.7 to 11.0)	4.4 (26.4 to 68.4)	14.3 (10.5 to 19.0)	<0.001
Cardiovascular morbidity per 100 patient-yr (95% CI)	6.7 (5.0 to 8.8)	3.0 (1.6 to 5.1)	11.5 (8.2 to 15.9)	<0.001

Data are expressed as numbers (percentages) for categorical variables and medians (25th, 75th percentiles) for continuous variables as appropriate. P value was measured by comparisons between participants with △HS≥7% and those with △HS<7%. 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
