Data presented as odds ratio (95% confidence interval). Death during enalapril exposure was a rare outcome and regression could not be performed due to model overfitting.

a

Regression controlled for baseline potassium level prior to exposure.

b

Regression controlled for baseline creatinine level prior to exposure.

c

Regression controlled for baseline potassium and creatinine levels prior to exposure.
