*Event rate per 100 person years.
†Adjusted for age and sex.
‡ n = 82,775.
§ n = 57,899; 24,876 participants aged ≤65 years or those with the records of the use of LTC service during the look-back period were excluded.
¶HRs for the use of LTC service were estimated using Fine–Gray’s subdistribution hazard models.
