aA Quasi poisson regression model adjusted by sex, age, calendar year, health department and comorbidities (COPD, diabetes, HF and CKD) was used to estimate the risk of HZ in IC respect to IC-free subjects

bA Zero-inflated negative binomial model adjusted by sex, age, calendar year, health department and comorbidities (COPD, diabetes, HF and CKD) was used to estimate the risk of HZ complications (based on hospitalization diagnoses) and recurrence in IC respect to IC-free
