Percentage discordance calculation: ([expected percentage – observed percentage) / observed percentage] × 100).

End points are myocardial infarction, death from CHD, and angina.

End points are myocardial infarction, death from CHD, angina, stroke, transient ischemic attach, peripheral vascular disease, and heart failure.

End points are myocardial infarction and death from CHD.

End points are myocardial infarction, death from CHD, stroke, and coronary revascularization.
