NSAID, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

aThe basic model controlled for the matching factors sex, age, and area or residence through conditional logistic regression.

bThe full model was a conditional logistic model additionally adjusted for education, previous use of NSAIDs or oral contraceptives, and previous history of hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, other arterial diseases, heart failure, and type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

cCurrent use required a dispensed statin prescription in the 12 months preceding diagnosis/indexing.

dCumulative dose among those with any statin use in WHO Defined Daily Dose [DDD].

e p for linear trend was calculated for statin users only, using the continuous variable for cumulative DDD.
