TABLE 1.

Transition matrix of the multistate transition model

	Taking statin without adverse muscle effect	Discontinuing statin without adverse muscle effect	Taking statin and experiencing myopathy	Experiencing myopathy after discontinuing statin	Experiencing rhabdomyolysis after discontinuing statin
Taking statin without adverse muscle effect	a	1	2	NA	NA
Discontinuing statin without adverse muscle effect	3	a	NA	4	5
Taking statin and experiencing myopathy	6	NA	a	7	NA
Experiencing myopathy after discontinuing statin	NA	8	9	a	10
Experiencing rhabdomyolysis after discontinuing statin	NA	11	NA	12	a

NA indicates that the transition cannot happen.

Abbreviation: NA, not applicable.

^a The diagonal part of the intensity matrix can be calculated by the sum of other transition intensities in the same row.
