a

Absolute cumulative risk at 30 years after hysterectomy (or index) calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. For hypertension, the Kaplan-Meier estimate at 25 years after index was reported for referent women in the age >50 year stratum because this was the maximum length of follow-up available for these women. The estimates were adjusted using inverse probability weights derived from a logistic regression model including all 20 chronic conditions present at baseline, years of education (≤12, 13-16, >16, unknown), race (white vs nonwhite), and age and calendar year at baseline (continuous). These adjustments were performed separately in each stratum to maximize the balance at baseline.

Hazard ratios calculated using Cox proportional hazards models with age as the time scale.
