Adjusted for time-updated age and sex (for all patient models), time-updated diabetes duration (centred at median 8 years), born in Sweden, maximum education level and baseline comorbidities (AF, CHD, HF, VD, stroke, cancer).
All comparisons have p<0.0001.
AF, atrial fibrillation; AMI, acute myocardial infarction; CHD, coronary heart disease; CKD, chronic kidney disease; DD, diabetes duration; HF, heart failure; VD, valve disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
