Based on age (within 5 years) sex, each case randomly matched 10 participants without two cohorts-a contemporary a historical 2018 2018. The characteristics groups were further adjusted propensity score-based marginal mean weighting through stratification. To determine association CVD within 21 days diagnosis (acute phase) after this period (post-acute phase), Cox regression employed. In acute phase, (n = 7584) associated significantly higher short-term risk {hazard ratio (HR): 4.3 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.6- 6.9]; HR: 5.0 (95% CI: 3.0-8.1)} all-cause [HR: 81.1 58.5-112.4); 67.5 49.9-91.1)] than 75 790) controls 774), respectively.
