Fig. 2

Kaplan–Meier (KM) curves for mortality, showing the cumulative probability of survival among the full background population, the baseline participants, and the baseline participants not participating in the rescreening. The curves representing the substitution and extrapolation approaches aim to predict outcomes in the full background population. CVD deaths are defined based on ICD codes I00-I99 and cancer deaths based on ICD codes C00-C99. The ICD codes used to define smoking- and alcohol-related deaths are provided in Supplementary Table S1. Note that, to enhance clarity, the range of the y-axis varies across the figures
