For each event of interest, the number of people contributing to the analysis from the target population, their person-years contributed, and the number of observed events are given. Expected events are estimated using indirect standardisation to the general population. Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. Events with fewer than 5 occurrences were omitted to protect patient confidentiality.
