  1. Abbreviations: ID, incidence density.
  2. 1Confidence intervals (CIs) for proportions were calculated with the Mid-P exact test. CIs for person time were calculated as normal approximation to the Poisson interval. Values smaller than 0.05 have been truncated to 0.0.
  3. 2Clusters: comorbid diseases were classified into clusters, after The International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC)-1 chapters. Sorted by decreasing prevalence at date of DD. The cluster 'general/unspecified' was removed because it contained only one case.
  4. 3Incidence density in a specified time period was calculated as the number of new cases of one or more diseases within a cluster of comorbidity, divided by the number of person-years at risk for a diagnosis of the particular cluster. Expressed as number of new cases per 1,000 patient-years at risk (95% CI).
  5. 4Prevalence at diabetes date was calculated as the number of patients with comorbidity in the cluster of interest at date of DD, divided by the total number of patients (n = 714).
  6. 5Prevalence and incidence density displayed only for men in the study population.
  7. 6Prevalence and incidence density displayed only for women in the study population.
