  • Rate refers to incidence rate per 1000 person-years.

  • *Model adjusted for age, gender, income, urbanisation level and relevant comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia, coronary artery disease, liver cirrhosis, mental disorders, obesity, tobacco use disorder and alcohol-attributed disease).

  • †P<0.001.

  • ‡P=0.005.

  • §Patients with any examined comorbidities, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia, coronary artery disease, liver cirrhosis, mental disorders, obesity, tobacco use disorder and alcohol-attributed disease, were classified as the comorbidity group.
