1

Cox regression models adjusted for treatment arm, sex and age. The number of criteria met as categorical term (HR comparing 3 vs 2, 4 vs. 2, 5 vs. 2).

2

p-values were calculated based on the Wald test.

3

Coronary events consist of death from coronary heart disease, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome and coronary revascularization.
