Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval, SAE, serious adverse event.

aSAEs were defined as an adverse experience judged by an investigator to be life threatening and/or resulting in death, permanent disability, hospitalization, or prolongation of hospitalization, whether or not the event was thought to be related to the study intervention.

bElectrolyte abnormality were adverse laboratory measures detected on routine or unscheduled tests; routine laboratory tests were performed at 1 month, then quarterly during the first year, then every 6 months.

cAn injurious fall was defined as a fall that resulted in evaluation in an emergency department or that resulted in hospitalization.

dAcute kidney injury or acute renal failure were based on a primary or secondary diagnosis listed in the hospital discharge summary and was believed by the safety officer to be 1 of the top 3 reasons for admission or continue.
