The Weibull shape parameter estimate, which shows whether hazard rates for each event type were increasing (shape parameter > 1), decreasing (< 1), or constant (= 1) over time, is shown for each event type in Table Estimates of the Weibull shape parameter in models by event typeMACE-4: 4-point major adverse cardiovascular event comprising nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, cardiovascular death, or hospitalization for unstable anginaModel fit was confirmed on review of results from all graphical plotting methods. Specifically, points in the plot of − log[S(t)] by time form a straight line through the origin, indicating a good fit for exponential model (Additional file Real-time estimated hazard rates and 95% confidence intervals over the duration of the follow-up for 7 outcomes: MACE-4 [4-point major adverse cardiovascular (CV) event, comprising nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke, CV death, or hospitalization for unstable angina (hUA)]; F/NF MI (fatal or nonfatal MI); F/NF stroke (fatal or nonfatal stroke); hHF (hospitalization for heart failure); hUA; CV death; and ACM (all-cause mortality)
