  1. No. or N number, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, DM diabetes mellitus, PTDM post-transplant diabetes mellitus, CVD cardiovascular disease
  2. aAll HRs (95% CI) were calculated using Cox proportional hazards model with counting process accounted for time-dependent variables and weighted by the propensity scores
