PCI indicates elective percutaneous coronary intervention. CABG indicates elective coronary artery bypass graft. BMI indicates Body mass index, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, rounded to 1 decimal. Joint disease indicates rheumatism, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout. Pulmonary disease indicates asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchiectasis. Other chronic diseases are indicated in S1 Table in the supporting information. A higher score on total comorbidity conditions and Charlson comorbidity categories indicates a higher comorbidity burden.
