SDU: standard deviation unit, OR: odds ratio, SHR: subdistribution hazard ratio, Cumul: cumulative, BP: blood pressure, HF: heart failure, MI: myocardial infarction. Model coefficients for continuous risk factors are presented as a 1 SDU increase (height SD=3.7 inches, weight SD=39.5 pounds, systolic blood pressure SD=17.1 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure SD=9.8 mmHg). Time-covariate interactions are specified as covariate × log(age – 55) for the Fine-Gray model and covariate × log(age) for the flexible parametric model. The flexible parametric models also included 4 terms for the restricted cubic spline of the baseline hazard.
