n represents the number of events. Probabilities were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The total number of subjects with ≥ 1 hospitalization is not the sum of numbers with planned and unplanned hospitalizations, because a subject could have both types of hospitalizations during the study period.

*different from a complication of medical or surgical care, allergy, or intoxication by non-psychotropic drugs.
