Cumulative incidence function for CVD and mortality among incident SLE patients, US Medicaid 2000–10

(A) Cumulative incidence function (CIF) estimates for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and (B) estimated CIF estimates for all-cause mortality. CIF estimates are stratified by SLE severity. Dotted lines are 95% CI estimates. Gray’s test for a difference in CIF curves by SLE severity for both CVD and all-cause mortality were statistically significant (both P<0.001).
