The participants were followed through the Swedish population and in-patient registries until a cardiovascular endpoint, all-cause death, or December 31, 2013, at which time the remaining participants were censored. The cardiovascular endpoints were defined as hospitalization or death caused by myocardial infarction (International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision [ICD-10] code I21), stroke (ICD-10 I61 or I63), and heart failure event (ICD-10 I11.0, I25.5, or I50). As endpoints, we also included hospitalization because of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting.
