AE adverse event, DAPA dapagliflozin, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, PBO placebo, SAE serious adverse event

aIncludes renal impairment, renal failure, GFR decrease, or blood creatinine or cystatin C increase

bIncludes hypotension, dehydration, or hypovolemia

cMajor = symptomatic episode requiring third-party assistance owing to severe impairment of consciousness or behavior, with plasma glucose <3 mmol/L and prompt recovery with glucose or glucagon administration. Minor = symptomatic or asymptomatic episode with plasma glucose <3.5 mmol/L. Other = suggestive episode reported but not meeting the criteria for major or minor episodes
