*Cases were identified as “incident” only if the diagnosis date was >6 months after enrollment (clearance time, 2 years for depression and chronic pain) AND not in the first year when Alberta Health data was linked (washout time, 2 years for depression and chronic pain); person-years were calculated for a period between 6 months after enrollment and the date of diagnosis (or March 31, 2018, the end of data linkage).
**For major cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in addition to “clearance time” and “washout time”, cases with surgery (PCI or CABG) for major CVD or diagnosis with CVD before enrollment or within 6 months of enrollment were not considered as incident cases.
†there are statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) between women and men.
