CALR, calreticulin; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; JAK2, Janus kinase 2.

Cardiovascular risk factors defined as: arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes requiring treatment, and active smoking.

Analysis limited to patients who underwent multiple interventions.

HR and CI were not computable because there were an insufficient number of events for comparison. P values in bold are statistically significant.
