Groups compared after IPTW and adjusting for competing hazard of non-cardiovascular death.

aSHR = adjusted subhazard ratio. CI=Confidence Interval.

*

Presence or absence of statin prescription within 5 years of CAC before MACE or end of follow-up.

>50% compliance with statin therapy during follow-up period vs patients with no statin exposure
