Adverse events for which the 95% CI around the difference in incidence rates excludes 0 and the between-group difference is >0.2 incident events per 100 patient-years

Adverse Event	Incidence Rate per 100 Patient-years†
	Sitagliptin 100 mg	Non-exposed	Difference between Sitagliptin and Non-exposed (95% CI)*

CI = confidence interval

^†100 * (number of patients with ≥ 1 event/person years of follow-up time).

* Between-group difference and 95% CI based on stratified analysis. Positive differences indicate that the incidence rate for the sitagliptin group is higher than the incidence rate for the non-exposed group. "0.0" and "-0.0" represent rounding for values that are slightly greater and slightly less than zero, respectively.

^‡When atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were combined, the between-group difference (95% CI) was 0.2 (-0.1, 0.5). Incidence rates for atrial flutter were 0.0 and 0.1 for the sitagliptin and the non-exposed groups, respectively, with a between-group difference [95% CI] of -0.1 (-0.3, -0.0).

^When albuminuria, microalbuminuria, albumin in urine present, protein urine present, and proteinuria were combined, the between-group difference (95% CI) was 0.1 (-0.2, 0.5).

^# For these events, see also Table 9 for the results of the predefined primary analysis which excludes data after initiation of glycemic rescue therapy.
