The risk horizon is the time at which the time-varying hazard ratio returns to 1 (ie, the baseline risk in the comparison cohort). The time to equal incidence is the time at which the cumulative incidences of the two cohorts become equal. The risk horizon and time to equal incidence are only included for outcomes with a significantly increased hazard ratio at 6 months; for outcomes that did not reach the risk horizon or time to equal incidence within the follow-up period (up to 730 days), they are shown as not reached (NR).
