(a)

Methods: Adjusted for age, sex, and LVESVI on MRI.

(b)

Downgraded by 1 increment if the majority of the evidence was at high risk of bias, and downgraded by 2 increments if the majority of the evidence was at very high risk of bias

(c)

Methods: no multivariable analysis, unadjusted HR reported in the paper
