a Cumulative incidence of the all-cause mortality between the lower and higher bilirubin groups estimated using the cumulative incidence function (p = 0.054, Gray’s test). b Cumulative incidence of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)-related mortality between the lower and higher bilirubin groups estimated using the cumulative incidence function (p = 0.005, Gray’s test). c Cumulative incidence of the non-ASCVD-related mortality between the lower and higher bilirubin groups estimated using the cumulative incidence function (p = 0.807, Gray’s test)
