Notes:
The HRs were adjusted for albumin (continuous) and CHADS2 (tertiles). These variables were found to effect the univariate estimate by >10% and were included in the multivariable adjustment.
The HRs were estimated with propensity score adjustment. The following comorbidities were included in the propensity score model: age, sex, body mass index (continuous), fasting plasma glucose, albumin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and CHADS2 (tertiles).
Overall event includes a combination of the following clinical events: hemorrhage, stroke, and myocardial infarction.
Abbreviations: CI, confidence intervals; aHR, adjusted hazard ratio; HR, hazard ratio; MI, myocardial infarction.
