Notes: Note that the risk of “any event” is the sum of the risks of a diagnosis of liver disease, overall cancer, ischemic heart disease, or diabetes, as well as ‘death without liver disease, cancer, ischemic heart disease, or diabetes’ (before rounding). It is also 100% minus the “risk” of no event.
