  1. aHR (95% CI): hazard ratio with 95% confidence interval. bAnalyses adjusted for gender, age at rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis, presence or absence of shared epitope, rheumatoid factor, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity and smoking habit. cUsing as survival time the patient's age at the time of the first cardiovascular event, patient's death, loss of follow-up or 1 December 2009. dUsing as survival time the elapsed time between RA diagnosis and the time of the first cardiovascular event, the patient's death, loss of follow-up or 1 December 2009.
