aGlucose and HbA1c values are treated as linear for the range of values for the safety endpoints.

bFor efficacy outcomes, glucose values <5 and >10 are treated as 5 and 10, respectively. For efficacy outcomes, HbA1c values >8 are treated as 8.

cOf the 11 289 patients who received a stent, 2520 had DM.
