IHD, ischemic heart disease; MAE, mean absolute error; MI, myocardial infarction; MSE, mean squared error; n, number of trial participants included in this analysis; OM1, United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Outcomes Model version 1; OM2, United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Outcomes Model version 2; QALY, quality-adjusted life-year; Q2 = 1 − MSE/S2; QALYs, quality-adjusted life-years; SD, standard deviation; x¯ , mean; (s), standard deviation.

For bias, zero indicates no bias, positive (negative) values indicate that the model overestimates (underestimates) trial QALYs, and larger absolute values indicate higher levels of bias.
