Estimated RRs of cardiovascular events according to risk of cardiovascular disease.

Data are given as pooled RR (95% CI). Analyses are from studies that made paired comparisons of cardiovascular risk with individual drugs in low and high risk populations; the definitions of these populations are given in the text, and individual studies are described in Table S1. The RR values in this table differ from those in Table 1 because only a sub-set of all available studies provided data to assess the relationship between RR and background risk of cardiovascular events.
