From the Austrian county Burgenland, the same claims data as from overall Austria but in addition all prescriptions for antihypertensive (i.e., “agents acting on the renin–angiotensin system”) and/or lipid-modifying agents (codes C09 and C10 of the ATC/DDD system) during the observation period were provided. Data from this insurance company “Burgenländische Gebietskrankenkasse, BGKK” cover between 189,500 individuals in 2009 and 202,420 in 2013, providing overall 977,488 person-years of follow-up. Both data sets were provided by the insurance companies. No data were excluded from the data bases.
