CAD, coronary artery disease; CI, confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular disease; ED, emergency department; HF, heart failure; MI, myocardial infarction; OR, odds ratio.

^∗

Analyses are adjusted for year, patient, and physician characteristics.

^†

A 2-tailed P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

^‡

All-cause mortality outcome measured 1 year from index date only.
