Results shown are the adjusted differences in the pre–post changes in 10-year risk of myocardial infarction, fatal myocardial infarction, and sudden death between the intervention and control groups. Models adjust for age, comorbidity, severity of diabetes, and site of care between intervention and control groups.
*Estimated number needed to treat to reduce the risk of one cardiovascular disease event is derived from the 10-year adjusted risk change difference.
