Adjusted incidence rate ratios of the initial presentation of 12 cardiovascular diseases for incident and prevalent polymyalgia rheumatica and/or giant cell arteritis (vs no disease). Because of the small number of events in specific clusters, estimates for unheralded coronary death and intracerebral haemorrhage were not adjusted for body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. IRR, incidence rate ratios for patients with polymyalgia rheumatica and/or giant cell arteritis adjusted for sex, age, index of multiple deprivation, smoking status, systolic blood pressure, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index and diabetes.
