Risk scores 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 correspond to rate ratios <1.3, 1.3 to 1.9, 2.0 to 2.9, 3.0 to 4.9, and ≥5.0, respectively. AUC = area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; C = concordance; N/A = characteristic not applicable for a given model.

Risk scores that were adjusted to improve their internal consistency, either across age time points and/or by characteristic categories.

Cranial radiation exposure was considered only for the stroke outcome models.
