Notes: OR: indicates odds ratio from a conditional logistic regression and OR values greater than 1.00 indicate that cardiovascular events were disproportionately occurring before or during the 6-month time window when a residential relocation was reported to have occurred; CI: indicates confidence interval; MI: indicates myocardial infarction; CHF: indicates congestive heart failure; TIA: indicates transient ischemic attack; procedures included coronary artery bypass or angioplasty; bold face: is used to indicate statistical significance ( ).
