  • Analysis of European-ancestry participants with >1 clopidogrel prescription in the available GP prescribing data. Participants excluded if clopidogrel prescribing frequency was less than once every 2 months. Events <1 week after first clopidogrel prescription are excluded. Events occurring after the last known date of clopidogrel prescription are also excluded. HRs from Cox’s proportional hazards regression models adjusted for age at first clopidogrel prescription, sex and genetic principal components of ancestry 1–10.

  • GP, general practitioner; MI, myocardial infarction.
