Patients with pauses of 2 to 3\u00a0seconds constitute the intermediate pause patients, who are further divided into daytime pause (8:00\n              <jats:sc>am<\/jats:sc>\n              \u20138:00\n              <jats:sc>pm<\/jats:sc>\n              ), nighttime pause (8:00\n              <jats:sc>pm<\/jats:sc>\n              \u20138:00\n              <jats:sc>am<\/jats:sc>\n              ), and daytime plus nighttime pause groups depending on the occurring time of the pauses. The rest of the patients (pause &lt;2\u00a0seconds) are the no pause group. The multivariate Cox hazards regression model was used to assess the hazard ratio for mortality (primary outcome) and adverse cardiovascular events (secondary outcome). There were 4859 (91.8%) patients in no pause, 248 (4.7%) in nighttime pause, 103 (1.9%) in daytime pause, and 81 (1.5%) in daytime plus nighttime pause groups. After a follow\u2010up of 8.8\u00b11.7\u00a0years\u2019 follow\u2010up, 343 (6.5%) patients died. The risk for adverse cardiovascular events, including all\u2010cause hospitalization, cardiovascular\u2010cause hospitalization, pacemaker implantation, new\u2010onset atrial fibrillation\/heart failure, and transient ischemic attack, were higher in daytime pause and nighttime pause patients than those in the no pause group.
