  • *Three models were run to assess if the incidence of events according to the above factors was time-dependent: Model 1 examined risk factors within the first 6 months; Model 2 examined risk factors within 6 months to 5 years; and Model 3 examined risk factors for the entire analysis period of up to 5 years.
