Note. Ref: reference; CI: confidence interval; SHR: subdistribution hazard ratio. &Cox proportional hazard model, accounting for other causes of death as competing risks. Robust standard errors. All SHRs were adjusted for sex, age groups, smoking status, source of exposure, length of exposure, number of ARD, and and age interactions.
