Abbreviations: CV, cardiovascular; OR, odds ratio.Patient-weeks of influenza-like illness activity were associated with outcomes with a lag of 1 week.Model 1: adjusted for state, age, sex, race, history of myocardial infarction, and history of heart failure.Model 2: adjusted for model 1 and diabetes, body mass index >30 (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared), kidney impairment, current smoker, peripheral arterial disease, ischemic stroke, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft, atrial fibrillation, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.Warmer months (July, August, and September) were associated with a lower risk of events even after adjusting for ILI (
