- aCovariates were measured at baseline (or closest recording) defined in the ‘main study cohort’ as the date of the start of unexposed (non-cancer) and exposed (≥ 1 year post cancer diagnosis) follow-up time. Patients in the Main Study Cohort could contribute person-time to exposed and unexposed cohorts
- bBaseline was defined in the ‘high cardiovascular risk cohort’ as the date of the first high cardiovascular risk score. Patients could only be included in one of the comparison cohorts
- cBaseline was defined in the ‘statin initiator cohort’ as the date of the first statin prescription. Patients could only be included one of the comparison cohorts. If a non-cancer patient developed cancer while on statin therapy they were censored
