The data underlying this article are available in the article and in its online A total of 21 820 REVEAL participants, recruited in Europe and North America from 2011 to 2013 and followed for an average of 4 years until 2017, contributed to the main analyses in the current study. Data on the 8629 participants recruited in China were excluded from the main study analyses because of large differences in hospitalization rates for events and much longer inpatient stays, suggesting different hospital care patterns compared with the other study regions. Previous studies have also reported that EuroQoL 5‐Dimension (EQ‐5D) scores exhibit a larger ceiling effect in a Chinese population suggesting cultural influences limiting comparisons with Western populations.
