Absolute incidence of cardiovascular disease outcomes compared with expected incidence by age group and time since diagnosis

Incidence in cancer survivors and expected incidence calculated by fitting flexible parametric survival models with exposure (cancer survivor vs control), covariates, and interaction between exposure and time since diagnosis and by predicting incidence for exposed or unexposed at the mean value of covariates in cancer survivors. Cancer sites defined by corresponding codes from the International Classification of Diseases, version 10. *The group of cancer survivors aged 60–79 years had incidence similar to that of the group aged ≥80 years, resulting in a seemingly absent blue line in the graph.
