Competing Risk Regression Analysis by Postevent Mean LDL‐C, Stratified by Ischemic Stroke Subtypes

Postevent mean LDL‐C No. of events/No. of patients Unadjusted SHR (95% CI) SHR (95% CI) adjusted for age and sex SHR (95% CI) adjusted for age, sex, and vascular risk factors* P for interaction
<1.80 (mmol/L) ≥1.80 (mmol/L) <1.80 (mmol/L) <1.80 (mmol/L) <1.80 (mmol/L)
All recurrent stroke

Other ischemic stroke subtypes 21/184 70/403 0.67 (0.41–1.08) 0.64 (0.39–1.04) 0.52 (0.31–0.89)
Recurrent ischemic stroke
Large‐artery atherosclerosis 8/96 34/221 0.54 (0.25–1.16) 0.52 (0.24–1.11) 0.44 (0.17–1.14) 0.042

Postevent mean LDL‐C ≥1.80 mmol/L as the reference group. LDL‐C indicates low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; and SHR, subdistribution hazard ratio.
