Incidence rates from MarketScan were age- and sex-standardized to the OBSERVE-5 population.

Analysis based on patient-years of observation.

Analysis based on patient-years of exposure.

The general MarketScan population comprised all insured individuals who met the eligibility criteria.

SIRs, standardized incidence ratios; CI, confidence interval; NMSC, nonmelanoma skin cancer; NA, not applicable.
