Association of Race with Sudden Cardiac Death among Participants without Baseline Cardiovascular Disease

Participants (n=22,507)	White (n=13,091)	Black (9,416)	p-value
Sudden Cardiac Death Events, n	67	107
Incidence Rate* (per 1,000 py)	0.7 (0.6, 0.9)	1.8 (1.4, 2.2)
Unadjusted; HR (95% CI)	1.00	2.35 (1.74, 3.20)	<0.001
Model 1†	1.00	2.35 (1.70, 3.24)	<0.001
Model 2‡	1.00	1.89 (1.35, 2.66)	<0.001
Model 3§	1.00	1.98 (1.41, 2.80)	<0.001
Model 4‖	1.00	1.88 (1.33, 2.67)	<0.001
Model 5#	1.00	1.97 (1.39, 2.77)	<0.001

^*Age-adjusted

^†Model 1 adjusts for age, sex, region, education, income, and health insurance

^‡Model 2 adjusts for Model 1 plus standard coronary heart disease risk factors and preventive therapies including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL, diabetes, body mass index, statins, and use of antihypertensive medication

^§Model 3 adjusts for Model 2 plus ACR, eGFR, LVH, and atrial fibrillation

^‖Model 4 adjusts for Model 3 plus behavioral factors including smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, perceived stress and elevated depressive symptoms

^#Model 5 adjusts for Model 4 plus intervening non-fatal myocardial infarction and/or heart failure hospitalization as time-variant covariates and the competing risks of non-SCD
