By design, the SCCS only considers those that have both the outcome and the exposure (although not necessarily having the outcome during the time-at-risk). To understand how confident we can be in generalizing this to the overall exposed population, we should include a comparison of the characteristics (generated using FeatureExtraction) of the exposed population, and a characterization of those with both the exposure and the outcome. The index date can be the date of (first) exposure. The comparison can be similar to the table 1 of CohortMethod in layout.
