These analyses were performed for CORONA and GISSI-HF data
separately and pooled, as well as for all participants with ischaemic
heart failure only (all CORONA participants plus GISSI-HF participants
with ischaemic heart failure only) and GISSI-HF participants with
ischaemic heart failure only. Finally, in order to compare the results of
our competing risks analyses with those of traditional Cox analyses of
the same data, traditional Cox analyses were performed to evaluate
risks for the above outcomes (MI, stroke, other cardiovascular death,
and non-cardiovascular death) for CORONA and GISSI-HF data separately
and pooled, as well as for GISSI-HF participants with ischaemic
heart failure only
