Risk quintiles were based on exponentiation of the linear scores. Results are averaged across the 5 imputed datasets. We randomly selected one six-month observation period per person, calculated the observed and predicted risk, repeated this process 1,000 times, and then pooled the 1,000 estimates to provide the summary estimates.
