Kaplan−Meier estimated crude event rates, HRs (95% confidence interval), and forest plot of adjusted HRs (95% confidence interval) of the primary outcome (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke). The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, geographic region, ethnicity, smoking status, myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, diabetes, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, body mass index, glomerular filtration rate, peripheral artery disease, stroke, transient ischaemic attack, and baseline medication (aspirin, statin, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin-receptor blocker, beta-blocker, calcium channel blocker, and diuretic).
