Table 2:

Composite endpoints: time to CV death or HF event and time to all-cause death or HF event.

Outcome Empagliflozin
(n=265)
Placebo
(n=265)
Hazard Ratio (95% CI)

CV death or HF Event 34 49 0.69 (0.45, 1.08)
All-cause death or HF Event 37 57 0.65 (0.43, 0.99)
CV death 8 14
All-cause death 11 22
≥1 HF event 28 39
Total HF events 36 52

Table 2 shows the results of time to first event analyses for the composite outcomes of (i) CV death or HF event and (ii) all cause death or heart failure event. We see that the composite ignores 6 cardiovascular deaths (which occurred after a HF event) and 21 repeat HF events. In contrast, the win ratio analysis incorporates all this information. HFE = heart failure event; CV = cardiovascular; CI = confidence interval.
