Adjusted differences in RMTL between males and females in 10-year cause-specific mortality after atrial fibrillation

	RMTL difference, years
Estimators accounting for competing risks	CVD death	Non-CVD death
IPW	0.18 (−0.16, 0.53)	0.33 (−0.04, 0.71)
IPCW regression model	0.19 (−0.28, 0.66)	0.37 (−0.08, 0.81)
	RMTL difference, years
Estimators not accounting for competing risks	CVD death	Non-CVD death
IPW	0.28 (−0.10, 0.67)	0.43 (0.02, 0.84)
IPCW regression model	0.34 (−0.02, 0.70)	0.52 (0.12, 0.92)

Note: Data are differences in cause-specific RMTL (95% confidence intervals) for men vs women. The IPW methods yield marginal differences in RMTL adjusting for covariates, while the IPCW regression models yield differences in RMTL conditional on covariates.

Abbreviations: CVD, cardiovascular disease; IPW, inverse probability weighted; IPCW, inverse probability of censoring weighted; RMTL, restricted mean time lost.
