  1. AUC of multivariable model 1 and 2: 0.83 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.83)
  2. Multivariable model 1 included the income level in 2020 as a categorical variable using quartile ratios; model 2 included the income level in 2020 as a continuous variable (per 5% decrease); model 3 included the average income level for 6 years (2015–2020) for sensitivity analysis. In addition, the grade of disability, and CCI were included in multivariable model 1, whereas specific underlying diseases, which were used to calculate the CCI, were included in multivariable model 2
  3. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, DM diabetes mellitus, AIDS acquired immune deficiency syndrome, HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus, AUC area under curve
